Meet Dusty! Dusty and her brother, Manny, were found as strays. Now they are here and ready to find their furrever homes! They spent some time in foster care to learn the perks of cozy indoor living and now they are back and ready to find homes with you! They are very shy at first and will need a patient family!

Dusty is described by her most recent foster family as friendly but cautious. She loves toys though and you can win her over with lickable treats!! She loves her brother, Manny!

Upon arrival, a routine blood test showed a positive result for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) in Dusty. The lifespan of an infected FeLV cat is typically 1-3 years after infection. Cats with FeLV may not show obvious symptoms for a period of time, but there is no cure, and treatment can only manage symptoms of illness when the animal becomes symptomatic. When a FeLV positive cat begins to show health decline or deterioration of condition, humane euthanasia is recommended. FeLV can be contagious to other cats through bodily fluids and prolonged contact. It is recommended that FeLV positive cats live as an only cat or with other confirmed positive cats. FeLV is not contagious to people or dogs. Positive cats will have a weakened immune system, and it will be important that they remain housed indoors only and receive preventative care. A confirmation test has not been performed at this time. An adopter may consider having a repeat test performed in 2-6 months with their primary veterinarian to confirm a true positive result.

Stop in and meet Dusty today! Her adoption fee is WAIVED for her new family!!
