Story
Kevin was found as an injured stray. We are currently treating his wounds and nursing him back to health. It is unknown if he is a true feral/wild cat or simply just terrified and unsure of what is going on. He is unfortunately FIV+. He can live a long happy life as an FIV cat. FIV is only contagious through deep bite wounds and as long as he doesn't fight with other cats, he can live with them peacefully with no issues. We will update his post as we learn more about his personality.Update:Kevin is starting to come out of his shell. Our volunteers have been giving him extra one on one attention and he seems to really enjoy being pet. We still have to go slowly and calmly so as not to startle him, though. And he looks extremely depressed in his kennel. But we are making progress! Sign up to volunteer and come sit with him for a bit!Update 2: Kevin is doing much better! He is currently being treated for an eye infection, but he is otherwise healthy! Kevin has started to beg for pets and has really blossomed. He is still a little unsure of new people at first, but once you start to pet him he doesn't want you to stop!

Story
Beauregard is an older, gentlemanly tuxedo cat. He is very social and affectionate. He came to the shelter in pretty rough condition, but a little TLC and this boy is starting to really turn around. Sadly, it was discovered that this old man is FIV+. It's always the sweet ones that get beat up. We guess him to be about a 8-10 years old. FIV is not a death sentence, however. He can live a normal happy life with other cats as long as the cats get along and don't fight. FIV is only contagious through deep bite wounds. Beauregard seems to be unphased by everyone and everything and just so loving despite the rough life he has lived. If interested in meeting him and adding him to your family, please fill out our adoption application on our website at EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org

Story
Titania is named after the Queen of the Fairies and is mom to the cottage-core babies that were recently adopted. She was a very good mama and took excellent care of her babies. Now it is her turn to find her furever family. Titania was an indoor/outdoor pet before coming to the shelter and sadly has tested positve for FIV. She is otherwise very healthy and can live a long happy life despite having the disease. FIV is not a death sentence and is only contagious through deep bite wounds. FIV cats can live harmoniously with non FIV cats as long as there is no fighting. Titania is very loving and curious. She is a total sweetheart! She has medium hair, but we wouldn't be surprised if she actually turns out to be long hair now that she no longer has fleas and is getting proper nutrition. If interested in adding her to your family, please fill out our adoption application on our website at Effinghamcountyhumanesoceity.org
