Duck's Story

Duck is a big tough-skinned Tomcat that was found stray nearby the A&W restaurant in Cortlandville. He seems to have had a few scraps with other cats while roaming outside and this likely is where he contracted FIV. FIV is an immunodeficiency disease that makes it difficult for a cat to fend off illness on their own. Though this means FIV cats need to be adopted with certain considerations in mind, they still can live long, healthy lives, and more often than not do. (please see infographic on his kennel card) Duck seemed at first to be timid for such a big strong boy and may need some time in a new home to learn to trust. Now that he has gained trust with our staff he has shown himself to be an outgoing, vocal and loving boy who really enjoys being held! His condition requires him to be adopted as an indoor only cat, despite his familiarity with the outdoors.
