Kuti's Story

Cuddles, snuggles, and purrs! Kuti has plenty, and she is ready to share! This petite girl will greet you at the door when you come home and jump in your lap as soon as you sit on the sofa. Tough day at the office? Pulled a muscle in the gym? Kuti will curl up with you and purr like crazy to make it all better! She'll happily keep you company while you watch TV or a movie - but no popcorn for her, please. <br/><br/>As affectionate as she is, Kuti is also independent enough to amuse herself by playing with her toys, or napping, while you are out. <br/><br/>She warms up to people quickly and will do well in just about any home with people who love her. But wanting to keep her out of the bedroom at night is a deal breaker.<br/><br/>Kuti is FeLV+ (positive for Feline Leukemia Virus), but don't let that keep you from considering this lovely kitty. FeLV affects a cat's immune system. It is not cancer. Kuti's infection is regressive, which means that her immune system keeps the virus in check. She is completely happy, healthy, thriving, and ready for a normal, pampered life. You might have read that FeLV+ cats have a short life expectancy, but that is not necessarily true for cats with regressive infections. A recent study from the University of Florida confirms that. You might also have read that FeLV+ cats are more prone to dental problems, but Kuti has you covered there! She's been there, done that, and all her teeth have been removed, so no more costly dentals for her! <br/><br/>FeLV is a cats-only infection. People, dogs, and other creatures cannot catch it. However, FeLV can spread to other cats through close contact. Therefore, Kuti should be an only cat, or she should be in a home with other FeLV+ cats. The virus is fragile, and does not live long outside the body, so you can still visit friends who have FeLV negative cats, and they can visit you, without fear of spreading the virus.

NY Cat Warriors, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
We aim to place each cat in a loving, lifelong home while keeping the process welcoming and supportive. After an initial inquiry (usually through Petfinder), we ask adopters to complete an application so we can learn about their home, experience with cats, and what they’re looking for in a companion. This helps us make the best possible match. We review applications and follow up by phone or video to answer questions and discuss the cat’s personality, transition period, and care needs. Approved adopters meet the cat (in person or virtually), and we conduct a brief home check to ensure basic safety measures are in place. All adopters sign an agreement outlining proper care and our return policy. Adoption fees help cover veterinary care. We provide vet records, transition advice, and post-adoption support, with check-ins at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. If at any time an adopter can no longer keep their cat, the cat must be returned to us. FeLV and Special-Needs Adoption Policy NY Cat Warriors rescues and places cats with a wide range of medical and special needs, including those living with FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus). When adopting a cat with FeLV or another chronic condition: - The cat’s medical status is disclosed in writing prior to adoption - Adopters are informed of the condition and expected care requirements - FeLV-positive cats must be kept indoors - FeLV-positive cats must be kept separated from healthy FeLV-negative cats unless otherwise advised by a veterinarian We adopt FeLV-positive cats into loving homes prepared to provide appropriate care and a safe environment. Our team remains available to provide guidance and support after adoption. Our mission is to give vulnerable cats the opportunity to live safely, comfortably, and with dignity.
