About Genial Lightning

Genial Lightning is a charming 3-month-old male Domestic Short Hair with beautiful brown and white fur. He has tested positive for Feline Leukemia (FeLV), but don’t let that discourage you. FeLV is not cancer; it simply means his immune system is weaker than most cats, which may lead to a shorter lifespan. Lightning can thrive in an environment with other FeLV-positive cats but is fine living with dogs and other animals. With the right care, 'FeLVies' can lead happy, fulfilling lives. At Austin Pets Alive!, Lightning receives ongoing support, including post-adoption FeLV-related treatment. All cats at APA! are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and vaccinated. For more information or to schedule a visit, please reach out to adopt@austinpetsalive.org. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
