Nikki (FeLV)'s Story

Nikki's advocate called us when he showed up at her house with an alarmingly large wound on his face. We swooped him up and gave him the medical attention he needed and time to heal. He is a very nice cat. <br/><br/>Nikki is affectionate and begs for skritches. Nikki is a quiet boy and very polite. Loves his food and always cleans his bowl. Short hair, almost feels like fur. He is an armful...nice and solid. He has a very pretty face, and he looks a bit unusual.<br/><br/><br/>Special note: Nikki tested positive for the Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). This means he needs a special home environment to keep him healthy and happy.<br/><br/>Here's what you need to know about FeLV:<br/><br/>FeLV is a virus that weakens a cat's immune system, making them more susceptible to other illnesses. It is NOT contagious to humans or other animals besides cats. FeLV+ cats can live long and happy lives with proper care, including regular veterinary checkups, a nutritious diet, and a stress-free environment. We recommend speaking with your vet before deciding to adopt a FeLV+ cat.<br/><br/>Apply to adopt this cat and learn more about The Feline Connection on our website: http://www.thefelineconnection.org/<br/><br/>---ABOUT THE FELINE CONNECTION---<br/><br/>The Feline Connection is a foster-driven 501(c)(3) cat rescue in Rutland, Vermont. We are always looking for new Foster Families. Learn more about The Feline Connection on our webpage.

The Feline Connection's Adoption Policy
The Feline Connection champions for cats who need homes and we are committed to finding each cat a safe and healthy permanent home. We work to find the best possible home matches for each of our stray, homelss or friendly colony cats based on their unique needs, and the needs of the adopter. We do not have a shelter location, so all of our animals are fostered with families in Rutland County, Vermont, mostly near Rutland. This gives us a unique capability to observe and interact with each cat in a relaxed home environment. Our conversation based adoption process starts with submitting an application followed by a conversation, vet and landlord check (if needed), and then cats visits and home visits as needed for the perfect match. Pictures of the cat’s new home are always welcome. Visit us at http://www.thefelineconnection.org/ for more details
