Benz's Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Benz is a confident, active boy who will keep you amused. He loves to play with the other cats in the house and loves toys. He likes to try to catch the water coming from the faucet and will even stick his head in the water. He is very smart and knows how to open lever handled doors. He has an affectionate side and loves to sleep next to you at night. He would be a great companion to his brother Lamon.<br/><br/>Lamon and Benz are special cats. They were both diagnosed with FIP when they were 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 but there is a genetic component to susceptibility so sometimes siblings will develop FIP. FIP 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. Lamon and Benz have been successfully treated and recovered from FIP. They have been cleared by a veterinarian and are living a normal, healthy life. They do not require any ongoing medication and have a normal life expectancy. All they need now is someone to adopt them and give them a loving forever home.<br/><br/>Estimated DOB: 5/5/25<br/><br/>Adoption fee: $80 (6% KY sales tax included)<br/><br/>We would love to hear from you!
