Egypt
I think you can tell I am a shy little girl, weighing 7.1 pounds. I am 1-year, 7-months old, mostly white with grey spots, spayed, litter box trained, and shaking in my boots at all the changes I've experienced lately. I was transferred to HSHC from a shelter in Muncie on August 13. Moving into the cattery here was alarming because I had to have blood tests. My spay incision had opened a little bit, so I had to take some medicine. Also, I was given a C/D diet to promote urinary health. I'm feeling much better now. When the interviewer lady (IL) first came to see me, I was napping and reluctant to get up. The next time, I was in the litter box room and poked my head into the bedroom to give her a sniff. I let her pet me, but I suddenly became intensely interested in making biscuits on my bed. It is safe to say I prefer a calm, gentle approach from people and can scurry away if something startles me. IL told me I was a beautiful little girl, and she noted all the grey markings on my face, ears, and body. Then she got very quiet because she knew that my blood tests revealed that I have FeLV. This stands for Feline Leukemia Virus, a retrovirus that infects cats and can compromise their immune system. It can be spread to other cats through saliva, bite wounds, and sexual behavior. We FeLV-positive cats must stay away from FeLV-negative cats. Although no one can predict my life expectancy, we often have a shortened lifespan. But in my defense, if you adopt me, know that you are doing a very noble thing. You are giving me a chance at a happy life, when a lot of people would simply walk by my cage. Although my lifespan may be shorter than that of a normal cat, that life can be filled with happiness for both of us. Please don't walk on by. 9-20-26

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
