Hi there, I’m Ghost Cat!
My favorite thing to do is… Be around my favorite people and friends. Play, sleep, play, sleep.
What makes me special is… I am very friendly, love to purr, and am a great sidekick. I want to be a part of your day.
I want my new owner to know… I grew up in a big family, and I’m very social, so I’d like to go home with a family that has another fur friend at home, or I’d like my family to adopt one of my siblings.
When I am feeling playful I like to.. (favorite toys): Climb up the car tree, chase rolly jingle balls and wand toys.
Where do I sleep? I don’t want to sleep alone, so I’ll sleep with you or my fur sibling.
I am good with: Cats, Dogs, and Kids
By nature I am… Energetic, Cuddly, Playful, Social, Affectionate, and Curious
Thank you so much for your interest in giving Ghost Cat a forever home! Before we take the next steps with your meet and greet we did want to take a moment to discuss Ghost Cat’s medical condition of FIV.
FIV stands for feline immunodeficiency virus. FIV typically causes a weakening of the cat’s immune system. It is the same class of virus as HIV (a lentivirus); however, only cats can get FIV. People and dogs cannot. FIV can only be transmitted via a deep bite wound and is not transmitted via normal contact. Cats with FIV can live normal and happy lives in households with other Non-FIV cats. Cats who are infected with FIV may not show symptoms until years after the initial infection occurred. Although the virus is slow-acting, a cat’s immune system is severely weakened once the disease takes hold. This makes the cat susceptible to various secondary infections.
Infected cats who receive supportive medical care and are kept in a stress-free, indoor environment can live relatively comfortable lives for years before the disease reaches its chronic stages.
If you do choose to adopt Ghost Cat, it will be important to have a working relationship with a vet (as a rescue, we use San Tan Animal Hospital) and if any signs of illness start to show it will be important to make sure that you call your vet and/or take Ghost Cat in to be seen. FIV kitties are amazing and typically live full lives. Ghost Cat is a very healthy kitty who will make an amazing pet for a special family.
