Meet Matisse (FeLV+)
Matisse is a funny, energetic, and loving boy who is sure to steal your heart! This handsome black tuxedo kitty is around 2 years old and has a big personality to match his good looks.
He’s the first to greet you at the door and the first to run over for some pets and attention. Curious, affectionate, and full of life, Matisse loves being around his people and making sure everyone knows he’s there!
One of Matisse' very favorite things is playtime with his fellow FeLV+ friends, Van Gogh and Picasso. These 3 boys enjoy each other's company and would all love a home where they can feel safe, loved, and cherished.
Matisse has tested positive for feline leukemia virus (FeLV). FeLV is a virus that affects a cat's immune system and can make them more susceptible to certain illnesses. Although there is currently no cure, many FeLV+ cats can enjoy a good quality of life with proper care, regular veterinary visits, and lots of love.
FeLV is spread primarily through close contact between cats, therefore Matisse should live with other FeLV+ cats or as the only cat in the home. He has not been around dogs to our knowledge, but he may do well with a cat-friendly pup if introductions are slow and appropriate.
This sweet boy deserves a loving home where he can snuggle, play, and enjoy life to the fullest. Please don't let his FeLV+ status overshadow the wonderful companion he can be!
Matisse and his FeLV+ friends Van Gogh and Picasso are playing with their foster family. Please ask about them!
Thank you! (Foster: Rachel B.)
