This cat is participating in our Camp Purr working cat program, which is designed for feral or semi-feral cats that would be happiest living outside as working cats. Adopters must provide shelter and food/water to these cats year-round and need to be willing to work with our Camp Purr team to ensure these cats are acclimated appropriately and humanely to their new environment. Because these cats are familiar with the other cats they are living with currently, we require that all Camp Purr cats be adopted with at least one other Camp Purr cat. The adoption fee for each cat in this program is just $25, and all cats have been spayed/neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. HOW TO ADOPT: These cats are available by appointment only to ensure our team has adequate time to assist you. To get started, please answer a few questions here and a Camp Purr Counselor will email you soon. Primary Color: Black Age: 0yrs 11mths 1wks

To schedule a time to meet this cat, please contact Mary at mmccarroll@arl-iowa.org ---- A big, handsome guy who greets you with a sweet, little meow- He starts purring as soon as you pet his beautiful, soft coat- Is mostly a lounger with occasional bursts of energy, and he enjoys batting mouse toys around the room and playing with wand toys- Enjoys looking out the window and being near you, and if you practice yoga or other floor exercises, he wants to keep you company on the mat!!! - Has done well with other cats- Young, busy children are just too much for him, so he is looking for a more mature home, that is on the calmer side- He will do best starting out in his own room for a few days to adjust to his new home - he doesn't hide in his foster home, but he is a little nervous about common household noises - Makes biscuits in his bed to get comfy before lying down - Loves Churu treats This cat has tested positive for feline immunodeficiency virus. FIV attacks the immune system leaving a cat vulnerable to recurrent infections. There currently is no cure for FIV, but infected cats can live fairly normal lives for years. FIV is transmitted through deep bite wounds. Casual contact such as sharing food/water bowls, mutual grooming, etc. is unlikely to spread FIV. However, we recommend that this cat be an only cat or live with other FIV+ cats. More info is on this cat's kennel, but if you have questions, please consult your regular veterinarian before adoption.All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age) Primary Color: Buff Weight: 9.4 Age: 3yrs 4mths 0wks
