This little female is FeLV+. I would love to find her a home with someone who has experience with FeLV+ cats and won't give up on her on the first hurdle. My boyfriend and I found her malnourished in our condo parking area. She is approximately 1 year old and PCR tested with viral antigens at 4.4 million. She is currently on antibiotics to keep an upper respiratory infection at bay, eye cream for the occasional discharge, immune system support treats, and daily probiotics. Depending on her mood, she is either a snuggle bug or a firecracker! Big kitten energy during play time but will curl up on your lap when she's ready for a bath/nap combo. Her meow is more of a little chirp and gets stronger when she knows food is on the way-she eats with gusto! Travels well in the car, and doesn't mind having her nails trimmed. A true snuggle bug!!
