Gordito

My story

FIV+ & FeLV+ DOB: 4/2022 *Bonded to Angelo* Gordito is a dashing gray tuxedo cat with a heart full of love to share. This sweet and gentle boy has had a tough start, showing a little wear from his time on the streets but he's been in a loving foster home now and has blossomed into a beautiful boy with a soft luxurious coat.  His heart is pure gold!  Gordito is now thriving and ready for a forever home where he can continue to blossom with love and patience. Gordito and Angelo are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.  They are both FIV+ as well as feline leukemia positive.  They can live in a home with dogs or other feline leukemia positive cats. One of the biggest misconceptions about feline leukemia, which suppresses a cat’s immune system, is that it is an automatic death sentence. There are many variables, however, that come into play that determine how FeLV will affect a particular cat.  To learn more about this condition visit:  https://resources.bestfriends.org/article/feline-leukemia-felv-faqs Feline Immunodeficiency Virus positive cats can live normal lives both in quality and duration. They do take special care in terms of monitoring them for signs of infection.  FIV can be passed from cat to cat via deep bite wounds, but not from casual contact so positive cats can live with negative cats without the fear of spreading FIV as long as they get along and are spayed/neutered.

All cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeLV. If interested in adopting me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process. Due to the large number of inquiries received, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.**   February 11, 2025, 6:40 am
