Adopt Eugene FIV+ $50 a All Black Domestic Longhair cat in Springfield

Location:

Springfield, MA

Description:

Brought to Dakin as a timid, injured stray, Eugene is now getting a taste of the good life in foster care. Foster mom says that Eugene is a total love bug who is overjoyed when she enters the room, but this did not happen overnight. Eugene is like a diamond in the rough who, given time, will be a gem of a cat. When he arrived in foster care, he had an entire bedroom and bathroom to himself, not to mention food galore. It was like a kitty Airbnb, but after a rough life on the streets, he didn't know what to make of it and hid under the bed. Later he realized that sitting on a cushy bed was much better than hiding under it. Now this sweet boy is hooked on pets, especially on his chin, back and neck, although his belly is strictly off limits. Eugene also loves it when you brush his long, luxurious fur. His favorite hobbies include looking out the window, playing with ping pong balls and feasting on catnip. Sometimes loud sounds and movements scare him, perhaps reminding him of the stray life, where he never knew if friend or foe lurked around the corner. As such, he would prefer to be your only pet, feeling safe from the uncertainty he faced on the streets. If you have another pet, he would need a very slow introduction. Eugene has a lot of love to give but will need someone who is willing to let him move at his own pace. Once he settles in, you will find that his love was definitely worth the wait. Eugene is FIV+ but that doesn't does affect his ability to melt your heart and be your ideal companion. FIV is a cat-only virus and does not affect people or dogs. FIV+ cats most often live long, healthy, and relatively normal lives with no symptoms at all. FIV is not easily passed between cats. If you are looking to add an FIV+ cat to your family and you currently have cats that are not FIV+ please speak with your vet. Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home. You will need to set up a room with a litter box, food, and water. It will take days for this cat to become comfortable and confident in the new home. This cat will be going home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for everyone to transition successfully. This pet is part of our Lonely Hearts club .
