Oh, darling, how incredible it is to talk about Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV)! This little virus might sound intimidating, but let’s shine a light on the loving souls it affects. FeLV is a contagious virus that targets a cat's immune system, making our feline friends more susceptible to illness. But here’s the powerful truth: many FeLV+ cats can live vibrant, loving lives, just often a tad shorter than the average kitty. 🐱❤️ Isn’t that heartwarming? Now, let’s dive into how this virus spreads. It's only passed between our furry companions through close contact—think sharing dinner plates, snuggly grooming sessions, or the occasional bite! You can breathe a sigh of relief because FeLV cannot be transmitted to people, dogs, or any other animals. So feel free to shower these fur babies with love! For our sweet FeLV+ companions, homes that are either cat-free or have other FeLV+ pals are truly the best fit. With good nutrition, regular vet care, and oodles of affection, these cats not only survive—they thrive! Let’s not forget how delightful they can be as companions. Imagine coming home to their purring, reminding you that love knows no bounds! Now, if you’re ready to make a difference, here’s the scoop on our adoption fees: Kittens under one year are just $125, while adult cats over one year are available for $85. For those adorable specialty breeds like Siamese, the fee is $175, and for purebred beauties, it's $250. But wait, there’s more! Each adoption comes packed with a little love—initial vetting, vaccinations, spaying/neutering, testing, and even microchipping! 🩺✨ And remember, you’ll have a 7-day health guarantee for your new friend (swing by Pet Station in Union, MO to redeem it). Please note that we are firmly against declawing and outdoor living for our precious cats. So, if you’re ready to welcome an incredible FeLV+ cat into your life, embrace the love and joy they bring.
