About this Cat
Gandolf and Gigatron are two precious siblings rescued from a colony of cats that we are working on to get them all spayed and neutered. They both have turned into a loving, adorable pair of tuxedos who just must stay together. They did test positive for FIV but may grow out of it and even if not, just like HIV in humans, can live a long life and are fine to be around other kitties. Please read below: Here's why FIV in cats is not what many people think: 1. FIV is not a death sentence: Many FIV-positive cats can live long, healthy lives with a normal lifespan, especially with proper care. FIV is a slow virus and can take years before it has any noticeable impact on a cat's health. Some FIV-positive cats never show symptoms of the virus. 2. FIV is not easily transmitted: FIV is primarily spread through deep bite wounds, usually from serious fighting, and not through casual contact like sharing food bowls, litter boxes, or mutual grooming. The virus is fragile and does not survive long outside the body. FIV is species-specific and cannot be transmitted to humans, dogs, or other non-feline animals. 3. FIV-positive cats can live with FIV-negative cats: If introduced properly and kept indoors, FIV-positive and negative cats can coexist peacefully without a high risk of transmission. Spaying and neutering cats can reduce fighting behavior, minimizing the risk of bite wounds. 4. FIV-positive cats still need love and good care: Just like any cat, FIV-positive cats require a high-quality diet, regular veterinary checkups, and a low-stress environment. Being kept indoors is especially important for FIV-positive cats to minimize exposure to potential infections. 5. A positive FIV test doesn't automatically mean a cat has Feline AIDS: FIV is similar to HIV in humans, but being FIV-positive doesn't equate to having Feline AIDS. Feline AIDS, which describes the later stages of the disease, may take years to develop or may never occur. Please remember: Unless otherwise specified, all our kittens and cats are strictly indoor pets. If you’re interested in adoption, please visit straylovefoundation.org and complete an adoption application. Every rescue in our care receives comprehensive vetting, which includes: A combo test Deworming Spay/neuter procedures Vaccinations Microchipping We take every possible step to ensure their health and happiness, giving them the best chance at a long, fulfilling life. While we do everything in our power to provide healthy rescues, it's important to note that some animals may have genetic health conditions we cannot predict (since we don’t have their family history). Additionally, medical tests—though highly reliable—can occasionally yield false negatives. Unexpected health issues may arise, either before or after adoption, but thanks to our thorough vetting process, the likelihood of a long and healthy life is very high. Additional adoption details: Transportation fees, if applicable, vary based on distance and expenses. Home checks may be conducted. Our standard tax-deductible adoption donation is $168. For special breeds, uniquely colored, or exceptionally adorable rescues, we may request a higher donation to help cover vet expenses. Can't adopt? Consider donating, sponsoring, or volunteering! Every form of support makes a difference.

Adopt Gigatron and Receive Gigatron's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Gigatron's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Gigatron's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Gigatron, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Gigatron's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Gigatron was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Gigatron’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Gigatron’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Gigatron’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
