Ziggy and Shelley
We are committed to caring for senior and special-needs cats, most of whom will spend their lives in our facility or in our foster homes. In addition to paying for veterinary care, we provide funding for their other needs. Some of our cats are adoptable, even if they have special needs.
Ziggy, a very sweet 3-year-old black male, had suffered from severe urinary tract crystals which had to be surgically removed. Although he has to eat a specific type of food to avoid getting crystals again, he doesn’t require any other special care. He is neutered and vaccinated, and tested “negative” for Feline Leukemia and FIV.
Shelley, an affectionate 2-year-old long-haired female, is scheduled for dental surgery in the near future to get a broken tooth removed. She has also tested “positive” for FIV, an immune deficiency. Fortunately, many cats with FIV live a normal life span if they receive good nutrition and care. FIV is only contagious to other cats. It’s spread via deep bite wounds or sex. Shelley is very gentle and is “altered” as well as up-to-date on vaccines.
