Thomas Domestic Short Hair East Amherst, NY

This adorable gentleman is Thomas. Thomas is a handsome two year old neutered tabby, who came to Cat by Cat Inc. rescue after he was found living outside braving the cold buffalo winter. Thomas is a love bug who craves attention, has a passion for wet food, and is ready to be someone’s loyal companion in a special home of his own.

Thomas is FeLV positive. FeLV is a Retrovirus, exclusive to cats, that can result in a weakened immune system. FeLV is not Transmittable to humans, dogs, or other animals, and is NOT a death sentence. In fact, FeLV positive cats like Thomas can live years and years being happy, normal, playful and loving cat companions.

FeLV is transmitted through prolonged periods of close contact, Like grooming or sharing food bowls/litter boxes with susceptible cats, such as young unvaccinated kittens or unvaccinated adult cats with medical issues.

Thomas would do best in a relaxed home as a solo cat or with another FeLV positive cat. However, there is also a vaccine for FeLV that is very effective in preventing transmission. This vaccine is a two-part series, with each vaccine given three weeks apart. This will help protect your cats who are FeLV negative.

Sweet Thomas is holding out for his hero, and not one with a cape or the ability to fly, although that would be pretty cool. the only thing his hero needs is a kind heart, some feather toys, and of course, a good supply of wet food!
