About this Cat
Hello, I'm Grasshoper. I came to the shelter as a stray with Felv. I love other cats and would love to have a Felv companion along side me on my journey home. **This cat has tested positive for FELV, Feline Leukemia Virus. This virus is highly contagious among cats, so if you are adopting this kitty, we recommend he/she be a solo kitty, or only be adopted into households with other FELV + cats. This cat (and any other cats in the household ) should be strictly indoors, in order to both protect this cat as well as to prevent transmission to other cats. The virus can be transmitted by bite or by body fluids over time, including normal activities of living, such as grooming, sharing food bowls and litterboxes. A few lucky cats will clear the virus once exposed, and there are some more sophisticated tests to check for this over time, which you can pursue with your veterinarian after adoption if you choose. However, for those cats who remain positive, they are more likely to be susceptible to infections and less likely for their immune system to be able to handle infections naturally; so if your cat appears ill, it is best to take him/her to the vet as soon as any symptoms are noticed, rather than waiting. In addition, FELV + cats are more susceptible to tumors of the blood or bone marrow, including leukemia among other diseases, and are also more susceptible to anemia and other conditions. We recommend at least twice yearly wellness exams by your veterinarian, as conditions detected early are more likely to respond better to treatment.

Adopt Grasshopper and Receive Grasshopper'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, Grasshopper's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Grasshopper's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Grasshopper, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Grasshopper'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 Grasshopper was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Grasshopper’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Grasshopper’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, Grasshopper’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!
