Klaus is the kind of guy everyone needs in their life; a calm, confident, and dependable sweetheart. Whether sitting by your side while you work from home, or entertaining you with his conversational skills, he's sure to provide you with all the emotional support you need. In return, he expects a home with no less than his fill of snuggles and treats galore. While he's still a younger guy who enjoys some play time, he's a gentle soul and purr machine who prefers to make lap biscuits and receive cheek massages.
Klaus has tested positive for both feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia virus (FeLV), two viruses that weaken his immune system and have no known cure. He should be able to live a normal day-to-day life with extra care and vigilance, though he will likely require more frequent vet visits and, depending on the stage of FeLV he has, may have a shorter-than-average lifespan. Interested adopters can reach out to the shelter or foster for more information about these viruses to determine if Klaus is the right fit for them.
Because of his FeLV diagnosis, which can spread to other cats via casual contact, Klaus should go to an indoor-only home without other cats present, or with other FeLV+ cats. Neither FIV nor FeLV are contagious to other animals, but Klaus has not been tested with dogs while in foster care. He may be a good fit for older/calm children due to his tolerant and easygoing nature, but the best home for him would be one that is quiet and stress-free to help manage his diagnoses.
Klaus is up to date on vaccines and flea/tick prevention, and he is already neutered and ready to go home. For more information on him, please reach out to his foster, Esme, at esmechiara@gmail.com. She has nothing but wonderful things to say about him, and she can't think of a cat more deserving of a loving home.
