Takaro

My story

FIV+DOB: 3/31/2018 Meet Takaro – Your Real- Life Teddy Bear At 7 years old, Takaro has the gentle heart and cozy presence of a well- loved stuffed animal. With his sweet, slightly scruffy look, he reminds us of an old teddy bear— soft around the edges and full of quiet comfort. Takaro has a calm, affectionate temperament and loves to simply be near his people. He’s the kind of cat who doesn’t need much— just a warm spot, a little attention, and a home where he can feel safe and loved. If you’re looking for a mellow, loving companion with a heart of gold, Takaro might be your perfect match. Come meet me at the cage free Adoption Center! All cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeLV. If you are 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. 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.
