My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Youve heard of Courage the Cowardly Dog but there is absolutely nothing cowardly about this duo.

Meet Ember (tiny but mighty) and Courage (a teenage dream). Two fabulous kitties with even bigger personalities and an even bigger capacity for love.

These sweethearts have regressive FeLV, which might sound scary but lets break it down.

About 3040% of cats exposed to FeLV develop whats called a regressive infection. That means:

The virus is present in their DNA

Their immune system keeps it under control

They are NOT actively shedding the virus

They cannot infect other cats during this regressive stage

Theyre very unlikely to show symptoms

In simple terms? Their immune systems are doing their job.

The only time reactivation could happen is if they become severely immunosuppressed (serious illness, certain medications, etc.). With routine vet care and a stable home, many regressive FeLV cats live happy, normal lives.

Now for the logistics:

Ember and Courage can

  • Be adopted together (two is better then one, right?!)
  • Be adopted as only cats
  • Or join a home with another FeLV+ regressive kitty

They just cannot live with FeLV-negative cats.

What they can do?

  • Steal your heart.
  • Turn your couch into their personal kingdom.
  • Remind you every day that different does not mean less than.

So are you brave enough for Courage?

And warm enough for Ember?

Go meet their pets

Feral Feline Friends is a foster based rescue group. We have several cats who reside at the adoption center at the PetsMart at 214 Morrell Rd, Knoxville, Tennessee 37919. We have adoption events EVERY Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 12-5 at the Morrell Rd Petsmart.

More about this rescue

We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization, dedicated to the care of feral cats. Members of our group work on a volunteer basis to feed, water, and provide medical care for hundreds of feral cats in Knoxville and surrounding areas. We participate in a trap/neuter/return program in an effort to control the feral cat population. The TNR program is where feral cats are humanely trapped by volunteers, taken to a clinic to be spayed or neutered and vaccinated, then returned to their colony where they are most comfortable. Our organization holds adoption fairs in order to find homes for socialized kittens born into feral colonies and to re-home stray pets that are abandoned in our colonies! We are funded solely from donations and fund raisers with 100% of money raised going directly to controlling and maintaining the feral cat population.
