Bubbles's Story

Bubbles is a 6 years old male Domestic Shorthair/Mix cat who weighs 9 pounds.<br/><br/>Meet Bubbles<br/><br/>6 Years old<br/><br/>Male/Neutered<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $145<br/><br/>Bubbles' story starts in a place where a cat should never have been found - Kelly Square.<br/><br/>Does anyone know Kelly Square? If you do, you know exactly why this handsome boy needed help. He was spotted wandering around traffic when a kind Good Samaritan stopped, scooped him up, and refused to leave him there.<br/><br/>There was just one little problem... there was no carrier!<br/><br/>So, this amazing person put Bubbles safely in the car, drove to the closest Target, purchased a carrier, and brought him straight to WARL.<br/><br/>When Bubbles arrived, he was tired and hungry. He had clearly been through a lot and desperately needed somewhere safe to rest. We got him some good food, fresh water, and a soft blanket, and Bubbles finally got the chance to settle in and sleep.<br/><br/>After his veterinary examination and neuter, we learned something important about Bubbles: he is FIV positive. And we want potential adopters to know something very important:<br/><br/>FIV is NOT a death sentence. FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Many FIV-positive cats go on to live long, happy, and completely normal lives. Being FIV+ does not mean a cat is sick, and it doesn't mean they can't have a wonderful quality of life. FIV primarily affects the immune system, so regular veterinary care, good nutrition, a safe indoor lifestyle, and watching for signs of illness are especially important.<br/><br/>FIV is also not something people or dogs can catch. Bubbles can absolutely share a home with a dog, and his FIV status does not put canine family members at risk.<br/><br/>For Bubbles, we are looking for a home where he can be the only cat or live with another FIV-positive cat. FIV is most commonly transmitted through deep bite wounds, which is why keeping him with other FIV-positive cats eliminates the concern of transmission to an FIV-negative cat. FIV is not easily spread through casual contact like sharing food bowls, grooming, or simply being around one another.<br/><br/>And honestly? Bubbles doesn't seem to care about any of that. He just cares about you.<br/><br/>This boy is incredibly friendly and has SO much love to give. He will happily cuddle up with his person and keep you company. Bubbles is the kind of cat who wants to be your buddy, your couch companion, and the guy waiting to greet you at the end of the day.<br/><br/>There are so many wonderful things about adopting an FIV-positive cat. You get the chance to give a deserving cat a safe, loving home that he may otherwise have a harder time finding. You can provide him with the stability, affection, and care he has been missing. And in return, you get Bubbles - a sweet, affectionate boy who is ready to love you right back.<br/><br/>After everything this handsome guy has been through, we think it's time for Bubbles to finally know what it feels like to be home. If you're looking for a loving companion who will happily curl up beside you and become your best buddy, please come meet Bubbles.<br/><br/>Walk-In Adoption Hours: Monday, Wednesday & Thursday 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Bubbles' story starts in a place where a cat should never have been found - Kelly Square.

There was just one little problem... there was no carrier!

Your safety and the safety, happiness, and well-being of our shelter animals are our top priority.

The adoption fee is waived for a senior citizen adopting an animal over 10 years old. What's Included in the Fees? Adoption Fees are non-refundable; they are the cost of caring for an animal in our shelter. Adoption Fees include these estimated costs: Spaying and neutering: $200-$400 Dogs are microchipped: $35 Cats are tested for leukemia and FIV: $35 Dogs are tested for heartworm: $25 Age appropriate vaccines: $50 Fecal testing for parasites: $25 Deworming for parasites: $20 Dogs receive a collar and leash: $25 Cats receive a cat carrier: $10 Veterinary exam(s) while at the shelter: $50 Included in the adoption fee is a free 30-day trial of Shelter Care pet insurance. You can decide at the end of a month if you wish to continue the insurance. Occasionally there are discounted rates for adult animals that have been in the shelter for many months or for bonded pairs that must be adopted together. WARL Adoption Hours Sunday through Saturday, Noon to 4 pm. Adoptions are typically a same-day process unless the adopter places a 24-hour hold* on the pet. You can expedite the adoption process by bringing your lease, and landlord’s phone number (if applicable) when you come to the shelter. If you own the property, you may be asked to bring in a mortgage statement as proof of home ownership. It’s crucial that you bring all family members or roommates to meet the animal at the shelter. If you’re adopting another dog, bring your current dog to the shelter to meet the possible new one. *What is the 24-hour hold? You can put a 24-hour hold on an animal while you round up family members, roommates or just to make arrangements to take the animal home. You have to request the hold in person; you can’t do it over the phone. If you adopt the animal, the $25 hold fee is deducted from the adoption fee. If you decide against adopting that animal, the fee will not be returned. Adopt Responsibly Falling in love with an animal, at first sight, is easy, and with any relationship, it will take work. Tell us about your lifestyle and what you want in a pet and let WARL’s experienced staff help you choose the best pet for you. What kinds of dogs do you have? Dogs are individuals and only a small percentage of their genetics dictate their physical appearance. At WARL, we do our best to identify what breed we believe they resemble the most, however, unless an animal is surrendered with a Pedigree, identifying the breed is the tip of the iceberg.
