We rely on foster care for cats while looking for permanent home for them. If you or anyone you know are interested in fostering, please contact Victoria King at 502-859-5342, info@hollys.org

 

 

 

 

Nubbins started his life as an indoor cat, but when his person died, he was sent to a farm where he contracted FIV. Nubbins is very healthy, though, and is likely to live a long, healthy life. He is very sweet and affectionate, but he needs a home without other cats.

Ikey is FIV positive and needs a home either with no other cats or with other FIV positive cats. Ike seems very young and shows no symptoms yet, so he could still live a very long life. He does have an eye injury, but otherwise is fat and happy! (and extremely affectionate!)

Scrappy also has FIV. He is one of the few who actually came from this county. Like most of our FIV boys, he's a lover and would really love a home of his own.

Megan is the only girl in the FIV room. Unaltered male cats are at higher risk of contracting FIV because of bite wounds from fights.

Tush Magoo was one of our most special cats. He was FIV positive, he had been shot, and after years of being in rescue, he developed chronic kidney failure. He was very sweet and loving despite the rough life he led. Tush definitely paid his dues, having eye injuries, part of his nose missing, and a .22 shell lodged in his right cheek.

Mason was a very special cat who had a rough life outside. Unfortunately, he was positive for both FIV and feline leukemia. He was very affectionate and fell in love with him immediately. Mason also had diabetes and required insulin shots on a daily basis. To learn more about dogs and cats with diabetes and to find resources to help, check out IMOM. In addition, he developed chronic herpes virus in his eyes. In July of 2003 his eyesight was failing and the herpes virus had made him very uncomfortable.

Because of the diabetes, he had not had "good" food in over a year. So we prepared him one last great meal, gave him a sedative, and when he'd fallen asleep, we had the vet inject him with a drug that would put him to rest. It was terribly difficult for us to realize we had to let him go. He no longer had a very good quality of life, and for Mason's sake, we finally had to let go.
