Adopt Globey a White Domestic Shorthair / Siamese cat in Port Richey
Location:
Port Richey, FL
Description:
Globey is a handsome boy with silky white fur and one gorgeous blue eye. He came in with several other cats who tested positive for FELV. He had to have an eye removed due to an infection, but he gets around with no problem. We think it makes him extra cute - like a little kitty pirate. Globey can be a little shy when you first meet him, but the way to his heart is with toys. He loves to play! Globey, and all of the cats who came with him tested positive for FELV. FELV cats aren't always sick, in fact they are healthy, they just have a shorter lifespan. Here is some information below about FELV, and we hope you consider adopting Globey or any of our amazing FELV+ cats! FeLV, or Feline Leukemia Virus, is a virus that attacks the immune system of a cat. It isn't a form of cancer but is actually a virus that weakens the immune system. Cats with FeLV can live normal, happy lives - they just have a shorter life expectancy than FeLV negative cats. FeLV is only contagious to other cats. For this reason it is required that FeLV+ cats are kept indoors only. They can only cohabitate with other FeLV+ cats as it is spread from cat to cat via prolonged, direct contact with an infected cat's saliva (sharing food bowls, grooming each other, etc.), urine, blood, and from mother cat to kittens during pregnancy. Feline leukemia is species specific, so other animals such as dogs cannot contract the virus. The virus itself is not airborne and dies rapidly in the environment, so you won't have to worry about carrying the virus on clothes when you leave the house or have friends over. FeLV+ cats appear and act just as healthy as the other cats we have available for adoption. They do, however, have an increased risk of getting sick. This makes protecting them from stress, feeding a high quality diet, and addressing health problems as soon as they arise absolutely critical. You wouldn't know a cat had FeLV by just looking at it, and many people have FeLV+ cats in their home and don't even know it because they never got them tested.
