Casper
STATUS: Adopted
Meet Casper! Casper is a very handsome white male cat, estimated to be about 5 years old. He was rescued from a commercial property when the property was sold and being torn down. He was obviously someone’s cat at one time as he is so friendly. Casper loves to play, investigate and birdwatch. He is a lady’s man – loves the female cats at our centre. He tends to make the boys jealous – lol. Casper is a gentle soul who loves to be brushed. He would be fine in a home as an only cat or in a home with another gentle female cat.
Casper has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. He tested positive for FIV and we have included information on FIV below. The adoption fee is $200. If you have room in your heart & your home for Casper, contact us hear or [email protected].
FIV is a feline only virus that cannot be transmitted to people or other animal species. FIV is not passed between cats through casual contact like sharing food bowls or litter boxes or through playing, wrestling or licking/cleaning each other. FIV is passed between cats through a deep bite wound – deep enough to inject saliva into the bloodstream of the other cat – commonly occurring in outdoor males who fight for territory. Purdue University’s College of Veterinary Medicine conducted a long-term study in cat shelters and found that FIV-positive cats can live with FIV-negative cats and not infect the FIV-negative cats during normal day-to-day interaction. Studies over the last 10 years have also shown that cats with FIV often live as long as cats that do not have this virus. For more information, please check out the links below.
