I've found my furever family!

Hi! My Name Is Farris

We're happy to tell you that Farris has a new furever home.
Please visit our Available Cats Page to see the cats currently available.

Hello, my name is Farris, and I am 1 years old. I am a beautiful long-haired kitty, and my fur is striking. I was picked up as a stray a couple months ago and been hanging out in a shelter.

You might think that's sad that being in a shelter is bad. No way! It beats being outside, in the cold and trying to find food. Plus, a young gal like me can meet some boy kitties and really, I don't want to be a Mama.

But what is sad is I get overlooked at the shelter. Two reasons: my coloring is black and when I took a test the vet said I'm FIV+ (more on FIV below). I don't know about that test but my fur. I don't see color. But I do feel my silky fur so for me I'm just like any other long-haired cat.

But I'm on the shy side. Who knows how long I was wondering outside, on my own. I must have had a family at one time because I like being held and I love being petted. Other cats? Well, right now I'm taking it all in. In the shelter I had my own space and now in my foster home I have to share. I know in time and patience from my Humans I will adapt to being around other cats. But for now, I like to just hang out in a cat tree and wait for an occasional petting.

My favorite part of my day is when my foster Mom holds me like a baby.  I love all the loving I get.  I tell my foster Mom thank you for saving me with loud purrs!

So, what do you say? Are you ready for a pretty girl like me to be in your home and give me a chance to live the good life? I promise I will make you happy when you see how pretty I am and when I give you an occasional head butt, you'll just want to pet me some more!

Let's start our life together! Fill out an application. Details are all below.

Love,
Farris

Details on FIV+ cats:
When a cat tests positive for FIV, it means they either carry the virus or have been vaccinated for it at some point (which causes them to test positive for the disease, which is why this vaccination isn’t recommended, among other reasons).
FIV is not spread through casual contact such as shared food/water/litter, mutual grooming, or playing. It is most commonly spread through deep, vicious bite wounds typically inflicted by intact toms fighting on the streets over food, females, or territory. If a cat has been spayed or neutered, they are unlikely to fight in this manner.
Bottom line: Ferris can live a healthy, happy life! She just needs a family to give her that chance.
