Benz's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Benz is a confident, active companion cat who will keep you amused and hang out with you. He is on the talkative side. He loves to play with the other cats in the house. As he has been in foster care for over a year, he has become a "Papa" cat to the other foster kittens. He plays with them and knows to be gentle as he is a lot bigger than they are. He is an affectionate cat who loves to sleep near you at night.<br/><br/>Benz was diagnosed with FIP when he was four months old. FIP is Feline Infectious Peritonitis and is caused by a mutation of the feline coronavirus. Almost all cats are exposed to the feline coronavirus as kittens but in a small percentage, it mutates into FIP. FIP is not contagious and should not be confused with FeLV (Feline Leukemia) or FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), both of which can be transmitted to other cats. You have probably not heard of FIP survivors being available for adoption. This is because FIP used to be 100% fatal and cats would die within days or weeks after being diagnosed with it. Since June 1, 2024, there are legal, proven medications to treat FIP so now it can be cured. Benz was diagnosed early before he had any overt symptoms other than not eating much or gaining weight and was successfully treated and is now recovered from FIP. He has been cleared by a veterinarian and has been living a normal, healthy cat life since December of 2025. He does require any ongoing medication and has a normal life expectancy. All they he needs now is someone to adopt him give him a loving forever home.<br/><br/>Estimated DOB: 5/5/25<br/><br/>Adoption fee: $70 (6% KY sales tax included)<br/><br/>We would love to hear from you!
