About Cinnamon Felv+

Your new best friend is just one click away. Cinnamon is a lovely, large tortoiseshell girl who has been patiently waiting for her forever home for the past two years after losing her previous one. At approximately 3 to 4 years old, this sweet cat is both FIV+ and FeLV+, which means she should either be an only cat or live with other FeLV+ cats only. It’s important to know that FeLV is only contagious to other cats and may impact her immune system and potentially shorten her lifespan, but many FeLV+ cats enjoy long, happy years. Cinnamon’s condition doesn’t diminish her deserving spirit or the love she has to give. She’s known for her laid-back personality, touching sweetness, and a good dose of independence. While Cinnamon can tolerate other cats, she shows a little bit of classic “tortietude” from time to time. With her combination of mellow charm and sass, she’s sure to bring joy to someone willing to give her a safe and loving home, either as the only feline or among other FeLV+ companions. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
