FeLv positive mom and daughter have been adopted after a year!!!
When you stop by the Center for pets the first girls to greet you are Pumpkin and Arrow. Located front and center in our Blue Sunroom, and FeLv+ room these girls were set up to go home first. But if you know about the stigma surrounding FeLv, you’d know that it’s not that simple.
Arrow and Pumpkin are mother and daughter. Arrow had Pumpkin when she was around a year old and likely had FeLv then. When the owners found out at vet that they were Feline Leukemia Positive they chose to surrender them. In many cases cats with Felv have shortened life expectancies. So it is always heartbreaking when they wind up in the shelter. Pumpkin and Arrow got the best seats in the house we could offer and we hoped they’d find a home together, but knew as Felv cats it would already be a challenge finding one of them a home. They waited for over a year. We marked them individually and separately and even though they remained healthy and happy their entire time with us no one seemed to ask about them.
Last month we made one last stitch effort, we revamped their profiles and officially made the “Pets of the Month” which includes waived fees, and features them at the top of our website. And my some miracle someone came in. Not only to adopt one but to adopt both of them.
We couldn’t believe when she came in to adopt these girls and we are so grateful she did! Thank you so much, and we wish you the best of times with these sweet girls.
