Story
Hello there, my name is Muffin and I am a beautiful 10-year-old female calico. But don't let my age fool you, I am still full of energy and love to play with my spring toys. I have a special routine because I'm diabetic and need to receive insulin twice a day and my diet is strictly monitored to keep me healthy. I am a social butterfly and love to interact with people, although I prefer to be the only furry friend in the house. My laid-back and mellow temperament makes me the perfect companion for a chill and relaxing home.   March 5, 2025, 12:57 pm

Story
Hello, I am Everest. I came to the shelter after being transferred from HAP, but I as originally a stray. I am sweet but shy. I love to watch the birds flying and to be a couch potato! Come meet me!   This cat has tested positive for feline leukemia. This is a virus that affects the immune system of the cat and can cause secondary and serious illnesses. This virus is contagious to other cats by contact with secretions of infected cats (saliva, blood, urine), mating with an infected cat, or if the mother passes it to her baby during birth. Many cats who become infected with the virus can clear it with a working immune system. Some cats have the progressive form and these are the ones who are terminally infected and have an average life expectancy of 3-5 years after diagnosis.   They are contagious and most succumb to FeLV-associated diseases (such as cancer, severe anemia, etc).  Unfortunately, this cat did test positive for the progressive type of this disease.  This cat should not be housed with other cats who are not also FeLV positive. This is not contagious to humans or non-feline animals.August 14, 2025, 4:28 pm
