In the shelter’s words
When Phoenix was just a young fella, a good samaritan witnessed him being hit by a car. He had extensive injuries to his back end that required surgery but he rebounded quickly. Since that injury in 2021 Phoenix remains a fully mobile and active cat that can jump, climb, and play with ease, however he doesn't have full control of his bowels. With a consistent diet he has maintained small firm stools that will sometimes land outside of the litter box. He is fully litter box trained otherwise. Phoenix has tested positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus).While this can mean a shorter lifespan, they can still live happy, fulfilling lives with the right care - regular vet checkups, a stress-free environment, and good nutrition to support their immune systems. Cats like Phoenix don't see themselves as any different, they just need someone willing to give them a chance. In return, Phoenix will offer endless endless companionship, gentle cuddles, and his sweet personality. Phoenix has previously lived with other cats and does very well with laid-back companions who match his easygoing energy. Because he is FeLV+, he would need to live with another FeLV+ cat or a cat that has been vaccinated against the virus. That said, he would also be perfectly happy as your one and only, soaking up all the love for himself. He enjoys playtime but is just as content curled up beside you, relaxing and enjoying your company. Phoenix is the kind of cat who will gladly accept every bit of love and attention you have to give, and then ask for more! Phoenix's adoption fee is $85 and includes his neuter, microchip, current vaccinations, and a FeLV/FIV test. Last Hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor only pets and that adopters have a history of having kept their pets altered and current on vaccinations and preventatives. The adoption process includes a background check, vet history check, and a home visit. If you are interested in meeting Phoenix please fill out an application on our website at www.adopthope.org.

Prior to adoption, all of our dogs have been tested for heartworm, current on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered, if age appropriate. Our adoption process includes reference and background checks, a vet check and home visit. The adoption fee for dogs and puppies varies. Prior to adoption, our cats have been tested for feline leukemia, current on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered, if age appropriate. If at the time of adoption, the kitten is too young to be spayed or neutered, an agreed upon time frame will be set for when this procedure is to be done. Spaying or neutering is not an optional procedure, it is required of all animals we rescue. The adoption fee for cats and kittens varies.
