Claude is an adoptable FeLV cat needing a home

I rescued Claude about two weeks ago, brought him home and immediately had him vaccinated. Then I scheduled him to be neutered, the vet called me and said he was positive for FeLV and that they wouldn't neuter him.

Then they offered to retest him which they did and it came back negative, I was elated. So they neutered him. Then they called me back and said the lab made a mistake and he was for sure positive. My heart sank.

I'm taking care of my 85 year old mother who has breast cancer and I have five other cats in my home. I love him so much already, and want to keep him but I just cannot.

I do want him to have a chance at being loved and living his life. Please if you know someone or would like to adopt Claude, get in touch with me.

I mixed FeLV+ with FeLV- too
by: Lynda

Thank you for keeping Claude, he's a lucky cat.

I fostered three kittens for a rescue and when they tested positive to FeLV knew I couldn't hand them over to be euthanized. My vet suggested that as my own cats were all adult cats who were past strays they would be naturally resistant to the virus. Of course, they all received their shots first. Two of the FeLV+ cats lived with my own cats for 7-10 years and not one of them became positive. In fact, my cats lived to 19, 20 and 23.

He is home
by: Dawn Stickel

Claude is no longer up for adoption. I am too attached to him, and could never let him go.

Claude

Just one more week until my other cats get their booster Felv, then Claude can come out of seclusion. He's very healthy, and is extremely playful and loving.
