Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. // Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee $250 plus tax Did you order a new weighted blanket?Because Victor has arrived. Victor is 15 pounds of pure muscle, love, and extremely committed cuddling. He’s a classic Velcro cat: big, a little clumsy, kind of lazy, and very affectionate. He firmly believes laps are mandatory, eye contact is a binding contract for pets, and that one hand petting him is simply unacceptable (both hands, please). Bonus feature: extra toes for next-level biscuit making! His hobbies include: Chasing the laser pointer… without standing up Cuddling (professionally) Demanding pets while already being pet Napping Snacks (obviously) Victor doesn’t mind being picked up, carried around, or generally worshipped like the king he is. If you look at him, his lawyer tells him you are legally obligated to pet him. Victor came to rescue as an owner surrender through no fault of his own. He’s a big, handsome black tom with the most adorable jowls—earned from his time as an unneutered outdoor cat. His torn ears are souvenirs from those days, and during that time he also contracted FIV. Since coming into care, Victor has cleared an opportunistic infection, transitioned to a high-quality diet with supplements, and is now healthy, strong, and thriving. FIV-positive cats can live long, happy lives just like non-infected cats. With regular vet care, good nutrition, and an indoor lifestyle, Victor is expected to bring joy (and significant body heat) to his future family for many years. FIV is only spread through deep bite wounds from fighting—Victor has done well with calm, submissive cats but has shown he’d rather not live with other assertive males. For that reason, we recommend Victor be an only cat, where he can soak up all the love he deserves. If you’re looking for a devoted cuddle buddy, a built-in weighted blanket, and a cat who will love you very loudly, Victor is your guy. https://iheartcats.com/5-reasons-to-consider-adopting-an-fiv-cat/ If you have previously applied with us please email placement@midwestanimalrescue.org to reactivate your application with new interest.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history. //
