Story
Bionic is the sweetest boy with such a sad story. He was found after he had been shot. Luckily he survived after medical care. He did have to have his leg amputated. That does not stop him from being the loving cat that he is. He gets around just fine with 3 legs. He is also FIV positive so he will need a home with no cats or cats that are friendly. FIV is only transmitted through deep punctures.If you are looking for a sweet and loving guy Bionic is for you.Please fill out an application from our website.

They’ll be ready to meet their forever families once they turn 8 weeks old after September 5th.If you’re ready to add a little “zing” to your life, one of these Z-names might be your perfect match! 💕Apply to adopt at EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org

Story
🌟 Meet Titan! 🌟Big, handsome, and oh-so-sweet—Titan is a gentle giant of a tabby who’s only about 1–2 years old. With his “sock paws” and his cuddly personality, this big boy is impossible not to love.Titan is FIV+ (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), but don’t let that scare you! Cats with FIV can live long, happy, healthy lives—especially when they’re cared for indoors, given good nutrition, and receive regular vet checkups. FIV is only spread to other cats through deep bite wounds, so Titan can still safely live with friendly, non-aggressive feline companions.What really matters is who Titan is today: a sweet, affectionate young cat who’s ready to shower his future family with love.If you’ve been looking for a big-hearted boy who will fill your home with purrs and warmth, Titan is waiting for you! 💛🐾Apply to adopt at EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org
