Special Needs: FELV positive per ELISA and IAF tests. Must go to a home with no other cats or FELV positive cats ONLY.

Description:

We recently took in a transport of kittens from a rural areaof Alabama. On the transport we received five 7 week old kittens and a 6 month old polydactyl kitten we named Polly. From the second I brought Polly into my home she has been nothing but a playful, purring delight. Polly wants nothing more then to sit in a lap, give hugs (literally), snuggle, cuddle and get attention from her human.

As part of our intake and adoption we process we test all cats and kittens for Feline Leukemia and Feline Aids and make sure they test negative before being placed into new homes. On April 22, 2013 we took Polly in to our vet for the FELV/FIV test. We got the news that the ELISA test came back positive for FELV. We obtained additional blood and sent it away to the lab for further testing. On April 30, 2013 the results came back that both the ELISA and IAF tests were positive for FELV. We would love to find Polly a home with an understandingindividual that knows her years may be shortened and she may need more medical attention then a non-FELV cat but this may prove to be a difficult task.Another option we were looking at was finding a sanctuary willing toaccept Polly into their program so that she has the opportunity to livethe life that she deserves like any other kitty in a safe, loving environment, knowing that she will receive all of the proper care she needs.
