Mountain Screamer - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Florence, Arizona

Introducing, Mountain Screamer!

My favorite thing to do is... Be all up in your business!! I want to climb on you, climb up you, "attack" your head. I'm a tad ornery.

What makes me special is... I'm a happy boy!! And when I'm not running around, I'm a love bug that wants attention.

I want my new owner to know... I have a lot of energy. And I play a little rough. And because I'm so young, I'd like to have another animal friend to play with.

When I am feeling playful I like to.. (favorite toys): I can play with anything. Dangly wand toys, my sister's tail, my foster mom's toes....

Where do I sleep? I cosleep with my litter mates at the moment. So I'll probably never want to sleep alone.

I am good with: Cats, Dogs, and Kids

By nature I am... Energetic, Cuddly, Playful, Social, and Curious

Thank you so much for your interest in giving Mountain Screamer a forever home! Before we take the next steps with your meet and greet we did want to take a moment to discuss Mountain Screamer's medical condition of FIV.

FIV stands for feline immunodeficiency virus. FIV typically causes a weakening of the cat’s immune system. It is the same class of virus as HIV (a lentivirus); however, only cats can get FIV. People and dogs cannot. FIV can only be transmitted via a deep bite wound and is not transmitted via normal contact. Cats with FIV can live normal and happy lives in households with other Non-FIV cats. Cats who are infected with FIV may not show symptoms until years after the initial infection occurred. Although the virus is slow-acting, a cat’s immune system is severely weakened once the disease takes hold. This makes the cat susceptible to various secondary infections.

Infected cats who receive supportive medical care and are kept in a stress-free, indoor environment can live relatively comfortable lives for years before the disease reaches its chronic stages.

If you do choose to adopt Mountain Screamer, it will be important to have a working relationship with a vet (as a rescue, we use San Tan Animal Hospital) and if any signs of illness start to show it will be important to make sure that you call your vet and/or take Mountain Screamer in to be seen. FIV kitties are amazing and typically live full lives. Mountain Screamer is a very healthy kitty who will make an amazing pet for a special family.
