Dash (FeLV+)'s Story

Dash deserves more than a single room.<br/><br/>5 year old Dash survived for months outside after being dumped, cared for by a colony feeder. Finally, he was safely rescued, only to find himself confined to a single room because he tested positive for FeLV. FeLV is a contagious virus in cats that weakens the immune system over time, but many FeLV-positive cats can still live happy, loving lives with proper care. Since it’s contagious, he must live with other FeLV cats, or as the only cat in the home.<br/><br/>Dash likely contracted FeLV while struggling outdoors. Now, through no fault of his own, he’s spending most of his days alone when what he wants most is companionship and love. He’s a cuddly, affectionate and playful little guy who loves petting and his wand toys. He’ll greet you at the door with his chubby cheeks.<br/><br/>Dash may have a shortened life from his FeLV, but that makes every day matter more, not less. He deserves more than one room. He deserves warmth, comfort, space, and someone who will choose him for all his amazing qualities. If you’ve ever thought about opening your heart to an FeLV cat, Dash is the one who will make it worth it.<br/><br/>We welcome long-term foster, foster-to-adopt, and adoption applications for Dash. As a reminder, he must be in a home with no cats, or with other FeLV cats. FeLV is only a danger to felines. Dash is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and parasite free.<br/><br/>Apply to adopt Dash: https://www.findyourcatpanion.org/our-adoptables/adopt-a-cat<br/>Apply to foster Dash: https://tinyurl.com/purrfectfoster

Purrfect Catpanion's Adoption Policy
We are very happy to help you find your next catpanion, please fill out our adoption application below to get started. The next step in the process will be a home visit or a video call, during which we will be looking to assess if the environment is safe to receive a cat. Some things we are looking for: - Windows in every room are secured to prevent the cats escaping. - Is the home ready to receive the kitty: litter box, food & water bowl areas, cat food available, etc. - Are there other pets that could potentially cause harm to the kitty? If other pets are present, they must all be fully vetted (Spayed/Neutered and Vaccinations up-to-date) This is not a 1-step process, we want to make sure the adoption is a purrfect match for everyone involved. All adoptions will incur an adoption fee: $200-$250 Your fee covers all vetting: Vaccinations, Deworming, Flea treatments, Neuter/Spaying, microchipping, etc.
