In the shelter’s words

Bear is a friendly, fun cat!! The worst thing for him was having to be separated from people and cats at intake. All he wanted to do was get our attention and make friends!! He can often be found grooming his compatriots in our community room, and he loves to come right up to humans, too. He definitely has the ideal pet personality! He is a greeter, a lover, a chatter, and enjoys a good play or treat, too. Bear does test positive for FIV, which is a retrovirus he caught while on the street. FIV can only be spread among cats through drastic contact like deep bite wounds. . . cats with stable social structures in households do not pass the virus! FIV requires no special medicine, just good food, an indoor home, prompt wellness care. . . the same as any Catsnap cat. Would you consider a perfect pet with a slightly lower immune system? Apply to meet Bear and our other adoptable cats and see what you think! Thank you for your interest in a CATsNAP cat or kitten! If you would like to meet a cat, please complete the online application located on our website catsnap.org. We do not have a walk-in facility; most of our cats are in foster homes. For this reason, we require an approved application on file before we set up a meet and greet. Completing an online application does not obligate you to adopt! We care deeply about our cats and want the best match for all involved. All CATsNAP cats and kittens are: Vaccination against Panleukopenia (Distemper), Rhinotracheitis, and Calicivirus Vaccination against Rabies (if animal is over 4 months of age) Testing for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) Initial de-worming, flea, and ear mite treatment Sterilization of the animal prior to adoption; no exceptions Micro-chipping as mandated by state law
