Widget needs a home

[Odonata]

(I'm cross-posting this in a few places.)

I have a very sweet kitten who has twice tested positive for the feline leukemia virus. I found him abandoned at three weeks old, and me and my folks have bottled fed and burped this cuteness to his present nine week old spritely state.

Because we have other cats we've been keeping him isolated, but now since the second test (IFA) has come back positive, we know that he is a permanent carrier and needs to be in a home where he's an only kitty. Dogs, ferrets, and birds etc. are okay. Just no other kitties, unless you already have FeLV+ kitties in your household. He's currently VERY healthy.

Here are some photos:





Please, contact me if you know of a loving home for him. Our hearts are breaking.

6. Widget has a good home now!

My parents' vet has decided to take Widget in. The vet recently lost a a cat to feline leukemia, and his kids miss having him around to take care of.

Thanks for your concerns and well wishes!
