Butler

Meet Butler! Butler was found as a stray and underwent a dental procedure to remove some fractured teeth. He is THRIVING in foster care but would love to find his forever family! Here is what his foster has to say: "He's been such a sweet boy. He lets me pick him up and snuggle him. He loves attention, cries for love and food every morning, and likes pets and scratches on his ears and neck. He has been great with all the kids, too. Butler would make a great addition to anyone's home. He is very vocal when he's hungry and has loud purrs to let you know he's happy to see you and be pet!" He can be a little "aggressive with his love" she says, and may nibble on your hands to show it! Upon arrival, a routine blood test showed a positive result for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). FIV is a virus that causes a weakening of a cat's immune system. There is no cure or treatment for FIV. FIV+ cats can live a normal life, both in quality and duration, but routine preventative care will be important since they are immune-compromised. FIV can be transmitted to other cats at birth, or through deep bites/scratches during fighting. It is not contagious to people or dogs. Since FIV can be transmitted to other cats, any positive cats should be very carefully and gradually introduced to any households with FIV negative cats to minimize the risk of transmission, or live either as the only cat or with other FIV+ cats. A confirmation test has not been performed at this time. An adopter may consider having a repeat test performed in 2-6 months with their primary veterinarian to confirm a true positive result. Butler's adoption fee is WAIVED for his new family! E-mail [email protected] to start the adoption process!!
