Children: Yes About me: Newt is a very friendly, sweet-natured boy who loves attention and spending time with his people. With his affectionate personality and easygoing charm, he’s the kind of cat who enjoys being part of the household and soaking up pets whenever he can. Newt is FIV positive, which simply means he has a feline immune virus that affects cats only, it cannot be spread to people or other animal species. FIV is most commonly transmitted through deep bite wounds, so many FIV positive cats can safely live with other friendly, non-aggressive cats. Cats with FIV often live long, happy lives with routine veterinary care, a good diet, and an indoor lifestyle to help keep them healthy. Newt doesn’t let his FIV status slow him down one bit, he’s still the same loving, wonderful companion who’s ready to find a home where he can be spoiled and loved just like he deserves. This cat has been at ARP since: 3/6/26 – ​The Animal Rescue Project is committed to the best possible veterinary care for the pets it rescues and it is looking for adopters who will be similarly committed. Adoptions are NOT first come, first served! We seek to choose the best fit for the approved adopter and pet. Please understand that these animals are still new to us and their needs and requirements can change at any time as we learn more about them. We will try our best to get them updated online as soon as possible. All cats and kittens are given a general check-up when they enter our program. They receive medical treatment to remove any intestinal parasites (worms), fleas, and mites they may have. All cats and kittens are feline leukemia tested, and cats at least a year old are also tested for feline immuno virus. Each cat or kitten receives the FVRCP vaccine; if a kitten stays with us long enough, two or three boosters will be given after the initial vaccination. Most cats and older kittens are spayed or neutered before adoption. In the case of kittens not old enough to be safely sterilized, a $50 deposit is required at the time of adoption and is refunded to the adopter with proof of sterilization. The Animal Rescue Project requires every adopter to establish an active relationship with a veterinarian no later than 10 days after adoption. Adopters will receive a plan for routine veterinary care at the time of adoption and are expected to work with their vet to complete the plan.
