Description:
Cecily is spayed female cat, born early June 2019. She was adopted from us as a kitten and has now returned (through no fault of her own) to find another family. She's a very "soft" cat, not just soft fur, but a soft little purr and a soft, friendly personality. She is still in quarantine and spends most of her time at the front door of her apartment, looking around and trying to get volunteers to pet or brush her. Her little round head is perfect for gentle bumps and sometimes she will even give kisses. She is an all-around adorable little cat. Update: Cecily has recently tested positive for feline leukemia. It's possible to get false positives, so we will wait a while and re-test her. This is a disease that impacts cat's immune systems. In a shelter, foster or adoptive home, it's important to protect FELV cats from exposure to other diseases, as they don't have a robust immune system and get them to the vet quickly if they do seem to feel sick. No waiting around to see if they "shake it off," because they are less able to do that. FELV is contagious, but it's not easily spread (the virus dies quickly in the environment, so specific situations have to exist for it to spread). This diagnosis is serious enough to be respected, but not so serious that Cecily can't be adopted and have a wonderful life with her family.
