Tommy

STATUS: Adopted

Meet Tommy! Tommy is a cabbage patch cute 4.5 year old male cat who has had a hard life.  We rescued Tommy from a backyard colony with a severe upper respiratory infection which was cleared up with antibiotics. He is a big cuddle bug – loves pets & snuggles and loves to run & play.  He has a large scar on his upper lip from his days on the street that gives him that cabbage patch cute appearance. This boy deserves a loving home where he will be spoiled.  He would do best in a more mature home and would be fine with older children that will give him some attention but are old enough to make sure he does not escape out a door.  Tommy would not do well with dogs and would be fine with another gentle cat. Tommy also needs a foster home and we would consider a ‘Foster to Adopt’ placement.

Tommy has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.  He did test positive for FIV. If you have room in your heart & your home for Tommy, contact us here or email [email protected]. The adoption fee is $200.

About FIV

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 otherwise healthy cats that do not have this virus. For more information, please check out the links below.
