Cat for Adoption: Orillia, Ontario

Tumblr, meet Fred!

Fred is estimated at about 2 years old. We scooped him up when he demanded sanctuary during a storm at a friend’s house but she was unable to shelter him. He was unaltered, un-microchipped, and we were unable to find an owner despite reaching out to local shelters and vets and posting him all over facebook. He is a super sweet boy with no behavior problems, but we are at cat-pacity and need to find him a new home.

Fred has been treated for fleas and dewormed. He is FeLV negative but he is positive for FIV. He is not cat aggressive so we believe that with a slow introduction he could safely live with an FIV-negative cat. However, he cannot be allowed to free roam due to potential for spreading FIV. He has been vaccinated and is scheduled to be neutered and microchipped on August 25th. He has a broken canine tooth which may need to be removed later on.

He loves people and has been very patient with my toddler-age niece. He enjoys playing with our other cats more than he enjoys toys, so a multi-cat household would be optimal but not required. He has not been tested with dogs or with smaller caged pets.

He has tolerated nail clips (front paws, back paws untested) and brushing well. He tends to resource guard food from the other cats and growls when they come close, but this has never escalated beyond growling. It’s an easy issue to circumvent by feeding separately or doing supervised meals.

We are located in Orillia, Ontario but we are willing to travel for a home that seems like a good fit. We’re asking for an adoption fee of $100.

Please share! Fred deserves a great home!
