Mona Lisa was found taped up in a box with her kittens, and their rescuer took them in and cared for them. Sadly, they were all very sick and one kitten didn't make it. Her other kittens found loving homes and Mona Lisa lived in a foster home until ARC had space for her in our Feline Leukemia room. Now, she enjoys a room with a catio. She is currently sharing her room with Chopper, who can sometimes terrorize her, but generally they are both fine. She seems to be a little shy with him, so she may feel more comfortable as an only kitty, or with another FeLV positive kitty who is very docile and friendly. Mona Lisa is very sweet and absolutely loves interacting with people. She tends to hide in her cat caves (probably to avoid Chopper's advances), but when she hears people enter the room, she is all about interacting! Mona Lisa is marked as "special needs" because she tested positive for the feline leukemia virus. This does NOT impact his lovingness, playfulness or adoptability, as you can see she is handsome and healthy! However, she should go to a home with either no other cats or a home with other FeLV positive cats. She must also be an indoor-only cat to avoid spreading the virus to outdoor cats. FeLV does not infect dogs, humans or other species, only cats. There is a lot of information on the internet about FeLV, but not all of it is accurate or up to date. To learn more, we recommend starting with the Best Friends Animal Society's article: https://bestfriends.org/pet-care-resources/feline-leukemia-virus-felv-signs-prevention-prognosis. Adoption fees are $80 each, includes spay/neuter, FIV/FeLV testing, core vaccines, deworming, flea prevention and microchip. Interested in adding Mona Lisa to your home?
