Honey - Tabby and Domestic Short Hair Cat Available for Adoption in Smithfield, North Carolina

Honey is a very trusting and sweet kitty, and her fur is extremely soft to touch. She comes to you for petting and affection. Honey will let you hold her but only briefly--she wants to play instead. She is silly when she runs and slides across the floor batting a toy ball which she will pickup and carry in her mouth. She loves all toys, but balls are probably her favorite. She also enjoys quiet time on her cat tree or lying next to you purring, snuggling, and gently nursing a blanket. She has not experienced dogs in her foster home, but would likely do as well with dogs as she does with her foster's other cats.

Honey is also a fighter! At 6 months old, she was taken to an ER Vet due to her foster's concerns over loss of appetite. Although otherwise asymptomatic, she did test positive for a mild, early onset case of Feline Panleukopenia (FPV). She only needed to be hospitalized overnight for fluids, came home the next day, and has now recovered completely, which hopefully means she now has lifelong immunity to FPV. Honey is vaccinated. She would do better in a home where she can be the only cat due to the possibility she could shed the FPV virus in the future.
