My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, my name is Poppy.  I am a 2 year old Tabby with white paws kitty cat.  I came to my foster mom back in August VERY pregnant so my foster mom named me Poppy because I was ready to pop.  I had 6 babies 5 days later and have been the very best mommy to them.  They are almost 4 months now and are starting to go to their forever homes and now it's my turn to find one of my own.  I am a special girl - super loving and affectionate.  I love my belly rubbed and enjoy lots of petting.  I do not like dogs though!  I have very short ears and a bob tail.  My mom thinks it may be a genetic trait I have but none of my babies had it so not really sure.  

I have been spayed, up to date on my shots, treated for fleas and parasites, microchipped and tested negative for Feline Leukemia.  I am positive for FIV.  I've been very healthy since I have been rescued but FIV does affect the immune system, weakening it over time.  I may end up being more succeptable to infections because it can affect my white blood cells.  I can lead a long, healthly life though. 

FIV spreads through deep bite wounds to other cats.  It cannot be transferred to humans or to other kitties by sharing food/water/litter box .  It is not spread through grooming and casual contact with other kitties as well.  

I would love to have a home to call my own and I will gladly reward you with lots of love, purrs and naps in your lap.  Please consider me!
