About Bernie
~ New Arrival: Bio coming soon! (FELV+) ----------------------------------------------------- This cat is currently located at PAWS Old City Adoption Center located at 100 North 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106. This location prioritizes appointments made by already approved applicants, but we can also accommodate browsers and walk-ins if and as our capacity allows. To ensure your best experience and best chance at meeting your new furry family member, we recommend completing the application ahead of your visit, which you can find at phillypaws.org/catapp. If you have any questions, feel free to email adoptions@phillypaws.org or call 215-238-9901 ext.30. FELV+ This animal was found to have a medical condition that may need further diagnostics or care at a full-service hospital at your expense. This cat has tested positive for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), a contagious, untreatable disease that will limit the cat's life expectancy. PAWS should be contacted as soon as signs of URI, inappetence, weight loss, fever, etc. are noticed. PAWS will provide basic care related to FeLV illness when able and can help with the cost of care if needed. PAWS will not cover the cost of yearly vaccines, dental issues, broken bones, skin issues or other medical needs unrelated to FeLV, nor will heroic measures such as hospitalization or emergency care be offered. By adopting this cat, you agree to keep it indoors, and understand that it should only live with other FeLV positive cats. Day to day needs: normal daily cat care, feeding a healthy diet, annual or twice-annual vet checkups, and reducing environmental stress as much as possible What to look for: sneezing, nasal discharge, lethargy, lack of appetite, fever, or any abnormal behavior that could indicate illness (litter box accidents, hiding more than usual, etc) Long term needs: contact PAWS at the first sign of illness, provided treatment as needed, monitor quality of life, eventual humane euthanasia.
