Brooklyn came to the shelter as a Stray early in January 2010. He is a sweet and loving boy who comes when you call him, and loves to give lots of head butts. He absolutely loves being brushed, and especially likes playing with toys that hang from string. He is very curious and can't wait to get to a new home with lots of new places to explore!
Unfortunately, Brooklyn was living outdoors before he came to the shelter and contracted FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) which is essentially the cat equivalent to HIV in humans. But don't worry, it's nothing that people or other species can catch, so they can live long and wonderful lives with their people friends and other animals friends, like dogs, hamsters and bunnies; just not other cats. FIV passes through the saliva, so a fight between cats, even if it's in play, can possibly transfer the virus. It's safer for a cat like Brooklyn to live in a home where he would be the only cat or where the other cats are FIV positive. He needs to live with a family who is dedicated to keeping him strictly indoors and who are prepared for keeping up with regular vet care including annual exams and vaccines. Anyone who is considering taking Brooklyn home should speak with their vet ahead of time to discuss any concerns they may have with taking on a cat who is FIV positive. More detailed information about FIV will be provided during the adoption meeting as well.
You won't regret opening up your home to this beautiful and loving kitty!
