About this Cat
My name is Mary and I am a very affectionate young lady. A kind man and woman saved me from the cold in the winter and now I am ready for my forever home. I just love being with people, and having all the attention! I am very laid back. I am FIV positive and would do best in a home with another FIV positive cat or I can be your one and only. Please read about FIV below. There is nothing to be afraid of -- I am not contagious and I can live a long happy, healthy life. If you want to make my dreams come true, please contact my foster mom at [email protected] if you are ready to meet me. What is FIV? Feline Immunodeficiency Virus(FIV) is a virus that attacks the immune system of cats. There is no treatment or cure. FIV is a cat-only disease and cannot be transmitted to people or dogs. FIV+ cats should be kept indoors to prevent exposure to illness, sterilized and fed a balanced diet. They should be seen by a veterinarian at least once a year to ensure their ongoing good health. Transmission: FIV is passed from cat to cat mainly through deep bite wounds, the kind that occur during fights and territorial disputes involving feral and unsterilized males. Casual, social behavior such as sharing a water/food bowl and mutual grooming will NOT spread FIV. There is no evidence that cats in the household with an FIV+ cat will acquire FIV from the FIV+ cat. Lifespan: Multiple medical studies show that cats who are FIV+ live just as long as FIV-negative cats. FIV itself does not cause severe clinical signs, and FIV+ cats can live many years without any health problems. For additional information contact your veterinarian.
Contribute to Mary's Stash!
100% of Mary's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Mary.
Adopt Mary and Receive Mary'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, Mary's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Mary's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Mary, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Mary'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 Mary was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Mary’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Mary’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, Mary’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!
