Story
Buster is a tough tomcat from the streets of Harrisburg. Well, he may look tough but he really is a softy that lives for lots of attention, pats, and food (He would go to war for a tube treat). We recently noticed some discharge from his eyes and took him to the vet (in the hopes of treating his eyes and clearing him for a neuter procedure). While at the vet, he tested positive for FIV (Feline immunodeficiency virus), and the vet suggested that we consider putting him down if we weren't planning to bring him indoors. Our indoor cats already have another immune disorder, so we are unable to bring him in ourselves. He is such a loving, friendly kitty I would love to find him a home where he can get the love and care he deserves. He has recently been neutered and is up to date on his shots! here is some info about FIV: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-infection

Story
Luna is a 3 month old kitten that needs a loving home. Her mom is a community cat that I have since gotten spayed. Luna is very friendly, uses the litterbox every time, and very loving. She is spayed, rabies vaccinated, and ear tipped. I want her to have a good home, so she is free, but if you are able I would like to get any amount of the $90 I spent on her vet visit back. I can supply her records with your adoption. Feel free to ask about Luna and thank you for your interest.
