Story

This sweet cat is semi-feral has been with ABF for an extended period. While some progress has been made, there is still wariness of human contact and he will tend to avoid interaction. This cat has never been exposed to outdoor elements or hunting, so would not be suitable as a barn cat. He is used to living in an air conditioned and heated building with other cats in a very clean room that has lots of windows and is excellent at using the litter box. We would love for him to have a home of his own where he could continue to thrive.

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

She can be very loving, to humans, once she gets comfortable. She is not good with other animals. She was abandoned with me by a friend back in 2021, at the time I already had 3 other cats that are bonded. While she gets along okay with my oldest cat (m 15), she has always been spicey with my Maine Coon (f 8) and my black cat (m 8). I recently had her spayed and she now doesn't get along with any of my other cats at all. She truly is a loving little girl. She will just melt in your arms and loves to listen to music, she will come from anywhere in the house if you play music or sing. She just needs patient person who understands cats and to be the only animal.

American Shorthair

Female, Kitten

Independence, MO

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with kids, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We adopted Carrot through the Independence Animal Shelter, we then took her to our vet to establish care, they had her tested for FIV and Feline Leukemia. The shelter does not test for that, which we were not aware of. She tested positivite for Feline Leukemia, and after a PCR test, we found she is positive with a progressive type of the virus. We have three other cats at home, so we are needing to rehome her. She is super sweet and cuddly, starts purring the second you get in the room. She likes to play and jump, and often will sleep at your neck or on your back.
