In the last couple months we have seen an increase of FeLV+cats. This is from 2 separate home on different sides of Elkhorn and then a home in Whitewater. What is FeLV? The technical name is Feline Leukemia Virus. Like FIV it can weaken the cat’s immune system and shorten their life. Is FeLV contagious to other cats? Yes it is! It’s easily transmissible between cats by saliva - grooming each other, sharing the same dishes. Cats that are positive are looking for a home with no other felines. They are able to live with other animals such as dogs. **There’s a vaccine that may help the current cat in the home but you would need to reach out to your veterinary to discuss this.Best placement for FeLV kitties? •Someone able to keep the cat indoors only•Taken to regular checkups - maybe even more than normalHow long can they live? Cats can live anywhere between 2-5 years, maybe even longer. It’s not something the shelter sees often. Strangely we see more FIV cats enter our shelter. Currently with have babies that are 2 months old up to adults. If you are willing to open your heart and home to these very special babies, please reach out! These kitties deserve a chance at a home just like anyone else.Adoption Information ~•Age appropriate vaccines •FeLV+•Fecal exam •Microchipped •Neutered/Spayed•Only FeLV+ cat homeAdoption fee ~ Name Your OwnYou can Apply below ??https://lakelandanimalshelter.org/adopt/adoption-profile-online-form/cat-adoption-form/*Cat rooms at Lakeland are open to the public during the time of open hours of Monday-Friday 12p-5p, Saturday 11a-4p but Delavan PetSmart is by appointment.

Lana and Leslie are 8-month-old sisters, born with their brother in someone's backyard.  Because they lived strictly outdoors for the first 3 months of their lives, they were a bit wary of humans so they spent 6 weeks getting socialized in one of our wonderful foster homes before arriving at the shelter.  Their brother was adopted soon after arrival, and Lana and Leslie are bravely getting more accustomed to humans, thanks to the loving volunteers who have been caring for them at the shelter for the past three months. Leslie, the beautiful medium-haired brown tabby, is learning to enjoy some head pets and ear scritches as she starts to come out of her shell at her own pace.  Lana, the sweet short-haired tuxedo, has been following her sister's lead and is starting to let volunteers touch her paws through the cage.  Both girls are very interested in watching the other cats and kittens play with the volunteers, but they have been somewhat reluctant to join in as loud noises and chaos are still a little scary for them. Lana and Leslie would do best getting adopted together, into a quiet home with no young kids and no loud dogs.  Their ideal owner(s) would need to be patient with them and show them that humans are not scary things.  Lana and Leslie are becoming quite food-motivated (they LOVE their wet food), so yummy food and treats will go a long way to bring them out of their shells!  They also love to play with string toys and their circular "ball pyramid", and they really enjoy batting the balls back and forth between each other. We are still learning their personalities as they slowly open up with the chaos of the shelter around them, but we believe they will make great progress once they are in a quieter environment where they feel safe and free to play in their indoor home.  We have no doubt they will turn into loving and affectionate cats once they become more confident and comfortable with lots of patience and love from their humans! If you are interested in meeting them feel free to stop in during our Open House hours:  Thursdays from 6:00-9:00pm and Saturdays from 11:00am-4:00pm.January 2, 2025, 3:15 pm
