Nubbins started his life as an indoor cat, but when his person died, he was sent to a farm where he contracted FIV. He is very sweet and affectionate. He has had urinary tract issues and has had at least two surgeries for this since coming here. For this reason, he must eat only Hills C/D. Nubbins was our very first FIV cat rescue and has been with us for almost 9 years!

Casper has the most interesting little face with a pointed chin! He was brought into Banfield Hospital out of Petsmart in Lexington. Like most of our FIV cats, he is sweet, gentle, and otherwise adoptable! He recently developed urinary tract issues, though, and underwent surgery to remove stones. Since his surgery he has been doing really well but must eat only Hills C/D for this problem. Casper also had a few mini-strokes a few years ago, and now walks with his head tilted. He also had to have all of his teeth pulled due to extreme gum and teeth problems. I know this may sound like he is a wreck, but he really isn't! He's generally happy and healthy - but he definitely has a lot of character from his past problems.

Nubbins & Casper are buddies and it would be best for their emotional and physical well-being to be adopted together since they've been best friends for so many years.

Ikey is FIV positive and needs a home either with no other cats or with other FIV positive cats. He does have an eye injury, but otherwise is fat and happy! (and extremely affectionate!) We recently had blood work done on him and his kidney numbers were a bit off so we changed his diet to Hills D/D venison. He has had blood work twice since starting this diet and it seems to have straightened any of those issues out.

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. Megan has a major Princess complex and has quite the demanding personality. She's a petite (under all that hair), short little cat with a big voice and a big attitude. She's very loving - unless it's time for Frontline - then she bolts out the cat door onto the screened deck!

Megan & Ike are in love and need to be adopted together. We are actually afraid that if we separated them they would become ill.

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.
