DOB: 2/27/2021 Bonded to Gordito
Hey there, I'm Angelo. Although my fur may be as pure as the clouds in the sky, my journey has been anything but ordinary. You see, I am FIV and feline leukemia positive, but please know that doesn't define me. It just makes me all the more special!
I’m
a social butterfly, always ready to strike up a conversation with anyone who
crosses my path. Whether it's a gentle meow or a hearty purr, I love to chat and share my thoughts with the world.
Gordito and Angelo are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. They are both FIV+ as well as feline leukemia positive. They can live in a home with dogs or other feline leukemia positive cats.
One of the biggest misconceptions about feline leukemia, which suppresses a cat’s immune system, is that it is an automatic death sentence. There are many variables, however, that come into play that determine how FeLV will affect a particular cat.

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus positive cats can live normal lives both in quality and duration. They do take special care in terms of monitoring them for signs of infection. FIV can be passed from cat to cat via deep bite wounds, but not from casual contact so positive cats can live with negative cats without the fear of spreading FIV as long as they get along and are spayed/neutered.

This cat is currently in a foster home and arrangements can be made for a meeting once you have applied with us. All cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeLV. If interested in adopting me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process. Due to the large number of inquiries received, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.
