Want a challenge? We present RJ, a glossy, black kitten. He had been adopted previously but became ill in his new home, so his owners returned him. The veterinarians found out that he’s FIV-positive, which means that he has a virus that affects his immune system. RJ grew up in an isolation ward at Long Beach Animal Care Services without much interaction or socialization, but he’s fine now. However, he never learned how to be a kitten~ The volunteers are working patiently and lovingly with RJ. and we know he really, really wants to be a good boy! RJ would be great as a solo cat—FIV can be transferred through a bite, but FIV-positive cats can live full lives if their symptoms are managed. RJ’s only 9 months old—he deserves to live the rest of his good life in a loving home. To adopt or foster RJ, email PetAdopt@longbeach.gov to speed the process, or call (562) 570-7387. Better yet, pay a personal visit to our shelter, 7700 E. Spring St., Long Beach (at entrance to El Dorado Park, no parking fee for shelter guests). Ask for ID#A745252.
(This rescue encouraged by the usual suspects.)
