Fergus does test positive for FIV, which is a retrovirus that just means a lower immune system. Cats outside do tend to get this when fighting for scarce resources, though it is not easily transmitted in homes. All a FIV positive cat needs is an indoor home, good food, and prompt wellness care, the same as any Catsnap cat!
Fergus also has diabetes, so we are very happy we got him off the street to help him with his sugar. It is currently controlled with an oral med! He is very stable and not insulin dependent (no shots!).
Fergus is an optimistic soul. He knows that there is someone out there who will see him for who he is. Not a different looking tail or eye (although honestly, he is beautiful), not a common virus, not a difference in processing sugar. But for Fergus. For a loving cat who has been hoping and waiting. . . a cat who, we assure him, is almost to his goal of a home. He has so much love to give. Please apply to meet him! There is no obligation to adopt, but Fergus is worth knowing.
Thank you for your interest in a CATsNAP cat or kitten!
If you would like to meet a cat, please complete the online application located on our website catsnap.org.
We do not have a walk-in facility; most of our cats are in foster homes. For this reason, we require an approved application on file before we set up a meet and greet.
Completing an online application does not obligate you to adopt! We care deeply about our cats and want the best match for all involved.
All CATsNAP cats and kittens are:
Vaccination against Panleukopenia (Distemper), Rhinotracheitis, and Calicivirus
Vaccination against Rabies (if animal is over 4 months of age)
Testing for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)
Initial de-worming, flea, and ear mite treatment
Sterilization of the animal prior to adoption; no exceptions
Micro-chipping as mandated by state law
