Meet Maddie, an adorable brown and golden tabby girl who was about to be euthanized on the east side of the state because of her FIV+ (feline immunodeficiency virus) status. Cats with FIV still enjoy long, healthy lives, much like cats without the virus. With regular vet check-ups, a balanced diet, and being kept indoors to minimize exposure to other infections, FIV-positive cats can thrive and live just as long as their FIV-negative counterparts. FIV cannot be transmitted through shared drinking and eating bowls nor litterboxes. Second Chance has successfully adopted out many loving, FIV kitties who have peacefully co-existed with other kitties here at the shelter. Maddie may present as a little timid at first but it's not true. She adores pets and can't get enough. Once you start, she likes to roll around trying to show you how much likes the attention or arching up her backside for more butt scritches. Maddie also has a very playful side and is always up for a fun game of wand toy. Maddie would be great for any type of adopter; single, couple, or a family likely with older respectful kids. Maddie does great with her roommates so could be part of a calm, easy going multi cat household. Maddie has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Maddie has an approximate birthdate of 04/14/2024. Her adoption fee is $95. If you are interested in Maddie or any of the cats at Second Chance Cats of West Michigan, go to sccatswm.org/adopt to fill out an application, or stop in during open hours on Fridays from 11-2 or Saturdays and Sundays from 11-4. Please note - we can only adopt to those who live within a one hour drive of Grand Rapids. Thank you!
