Can't adopt but want to help? Please contact lrol@aol.com to find out about sponsorship, fostering, and other ways you can help this cat! Please note that financial sponsorship will be applied to the specific cat you indicate unless it is not needed, at which time we will let you designate it for another HT animal of your choice.



You can save animals like Bunny by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats before they are euthanized at the shelters, so that they have more time to find a permanent family. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please check out our information about fostering animals.

Fluffy, adorable, and one of the friendliest cats around, this poor little 3 year old grey and white manx kitty named Bunny has been spending most of her time in a cage (as have 5 other kitties with FeLV) at a small rural shelter in West Virginia for a very long time. The shelter staff absolutely love this sweet girl and are trying their best to keep her alive for as long as they can in the hopes that she will be adopted. Her chances are slim though - poor Bunny is being overlooked because she is positive for the feline leukemia virus (FeLV). Bunny gets along wonderfully with other animals and would do great in a household with a cat-friendly, gentle dog sibling. She gets along with other cats as well but since feline leukemia is easily transferred via nose-to-nose contact, she has to be the only cat in her household or with other FeLV+ cats. The feline leukemia virus is species-specific, meaning that only cats can be infected with it. Humans, dogs, horses, rabbits, mice or any other non-feline animals are in no danger of infection. Cats positive for feline leukemia can live normal lives if they are kept otherwise happy and fed a good quality diet. They do not necessarily need additional medications or treatments; in addition to regular vet checks these cats just need plenty of love. We can't predict how long a feline leukemia positive cat will live - it can be 5 years, 10 years, or even 20 years - but regardless of their length of life, giving these cats the most love and the best quality of life during their time with us is the kindest and most rewarding thing that we can do for them. FeLV+ cats need homes and love just like other kitties do. Please consider opening your heart to this lovely cat, please consider adopting Bunny.
