🌟 Meet Big Red, a heartwarming tale of resilience and survival! Having spent years in one of our colonies, this gentle soul perfected the art of avoiding traps while keeping his more assertive furry friends fed—what a gentleman! 🐾 Big Red had the patience to wait for his turn, all while keeping a watchful eye, knowing dinner time like a pro. But when his health began to decline and the shelter he called home was set for demolition, we knew we had to step in and give him a fighting chance. It took some clever maneuvering to get him to safety, but when he finally went under the drop trap, we knew he was in good hands. After a quick vet visit, Big Red was on antibiotics and feeling better in no time! Now neutered and vaccinated, life was looking up until we learned some unexpected news: Big Red tested positive for FELV. Let’s break it down: FELV is only a concern for other cats, transmitted through shared resources like food bowls and litter pans—no need for other pets to worry! 🐾 While it’s best for FELV cats to be housed alone or with other FELV positive fur babies, this does not diminish their ability to live long and happy lives. What Big Red truly needs is a loving home where he can learn about the warmth of humans and the joy of indoor living extended to him. ❤️ Big Red is looking for someone with the heart and patience to help him trust and adapt—someone ready to show him that humans can be kind. It’s not just a commitment; it’s a beautiful journey of love, growth, and companionship. If you’re in the Keansburg area and can offer that kind of loving home, please reach out! You’ll find nothing more rewarding than winning the trust and love of such a special soul. Let’s make Big Red’s life better together! Remember, you must apply through the Buddy App to start this incredible journey!
