Cher

July 5, 2024: Cher has tested positive for the Feline Leukemia Virus. Her mother, Honey, and sister, Jade, have both passed away from the disease. Jade died suddenly on June 28, 2024. Shortly after that, Honey became very ill and was euthanized on July 4, 2024. Needless to say, we are greatly concerned for Cher; however, young kittens have been known to clear the virus from their bodies, so there's still a chance that sweet Cher could survive this. We would be extremely grateful if someone came forward to foster this precious little cat - it would need to be a home without other cats. The virus only affects cats - not humans, not dogs, not other species. PAW will cover all veterinary costs and will be available to respond for any reason. If things continue to go well, she will be re-tested in a few months. Caring for and loving cats like Cher - no matter how long - is a vital part of rescue. It's also the part you don't hear a lot about because it is SAD. But little Cher doesn't know anything about sad. She continues on her merry little way, living her happy life. We want the same for her as any other cat - to know love - even if her time is short.

History:

Cher's mom, Honey, was surviving in a residential alley-way close to the downtown core. A kindly neighbourhood resident could tell mom was pregnant and brought her indoors. Cher and her sister, Jade, were born on April 24, 2024, in the rescuer's home. They will be vet checked and vaccinated on July 10, 2024.

Personality:

Play, wrestle, sleep, repeat - as many cycles as can be squeezed into a day! They are happy, not to mention cute, and extremely lucky that someone took in their mom. No feral kittens here! We will keep you updated as their personalities emerge.
