In the shelter’s words
This cat has tested positive for FELV, Feline Leukemia Virus. This virus is highly contagious among cats, so if you are adopting this kitty, we recommend he/she be a solo kitty, or only be adopted into households with other FELV + cats. This cat (and any other cats in the household ) should be strictly indoors, in order to both protect this cat as well as to prevent transmission to other cats. The virus can be transmitted by bite or by body fluids over time, including normal activities of living, such as grooming, sharing food bowls and litterboxes. A few lucky cats will clear the virus once exposed, and there are some more sophisticated tests to check for this over time, which you can pursue with your veterinarian after adoption if you choose. However, for those cats who remain positive, they are more likely to be susceptible to infections and less likely for their immune system to be able to handle infections naturally; so if your cat appears ill, it is best to take him/her to the vet as soon as any symptoms are noticed, rather than waiting. In addition, FELV + cats are more susceptible to tumors of the blood or bone marrow, including leukemia among other diseases, and are also more susceptible to anemia and other conditions. We recommend at least twice yearly wellness exams by your veterinarian, as conditions detected early are more likely to respond better to treatment.

Adoption applicants must be at least 18 years old. Regular Adoption Fees Large Dogs: $99 Small Dogs (6 years or older): $99 Small Dogs (under 6 years): $199 Puppies (7 months or younger): $350 Adult Cats: $45 Kittens: $75 Adoption fee includes spay or neuter surgery, routine vaccines, microchip, de-wormer, and current heartworm prevention and flea/tick control. We make every effort to process adoption applications same day when possible. If the application cannot be processed same-day it will be processed within three business days. We will conduct an interview with you to discuss your potential pet. During the interview, we will talk about the demands of being a pet owner and what unique needs your specific dog or cat will require. At that point, if your application is approved, you may either bring your pet home the same day or make an appointment to do so. We want to be sure that each of our pets are succeeding in their new home! A follow up phone call will come about one month after your adoption to make sure your new pet has adjusted to its new family. More info here: http://www.faithfulfriends.us/adoption-process
