Description:
Hi, my name is Freckles and I'm about 2 1/2 years old. I was a stray and rescued by a BCHS volunteer, and brought to Bond County Humane Society to find a loving permanent home. I live with 2 other FIV positive cats at the shelter. I am playful and like to chase bouncy balls. I like to get to know you before I want to be petted. Of course, this is all on my terms. I determine when and how long you can pet me. I love to explore and look in all the nooks and crannies around the shelter. I am considered Special Needs for a couple reasons. First, I tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). FIV is comparable to AIDS in people. It is transmitted to other cats by scratching or biting. There is not a vaccine available to provide immunity to other cats so I need to be the only cat in the household or live with other FIV positive cats. I can have a normal life expectancy of a cat. The most important things for me are a low stress environment, good quality food and regular veterinarian care. Second, I was also diagnosed with IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) which requires me to have a special diet. It is extremely important for me to stay healthy. I get along well with the other 2 cats in the FIV room at the shelter. I am considered special needs because I have been diagnosed with IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) and require a special diet. I am available for immediate adoption. I am spayed, UTD on vaccinations, tested for FeLV/FIV, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped. My adoption fee has been waived. If you are interested in making me a member of your family please complete an Adoption Profile in person or on-line at www.bondcohumane.org . Email the completed profile to the address provided. A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds and returns is available upon request.
