**RESCUE ONLY** NOT FOR PUBLIC ADOPTION**

Meet Sylvester & Monroe

We are reaching out with an urgent plea for two adorable male kittens, approximately 6–7 weeks old, who are in need of rescue placement.

As part of our adoption center's intake requirements, both kittens were tested and unfortunately received positive FIV test results. We fully recognize that testing at this young age is often unreliable, as maternal antibodies can produce false-positive results in kittens. Because of their age, these results should not be considered definitive, and retesting at an appropriate age (4-6mths) is recommended.

Under normal circumstances, our adoption center is unable to offer FIV-positive cats or kittens to rescue partners. However, given the unique circumstances surrounding these kittens and the likelihood that their results may not accurately reflect their true FIV status, we are making an exception and hoping to find a rescue willing to provide them with a safe place to grow and receive follow-up testing.

These 2 stunning guys have received their FVRCP, capstar and dewormer. NO PULL FEE! AS IS!

These kittens have a very short timeline and must be picked up by Monday, June 8. They are bright, adorable, social, and deserve the opportunity to thrive despite the uncertainty surrounding their test results.

If your 501c3 rescue may be able to assist, or if you have any questions about the kittens, please contact [email protected] as soon as possible.

We would be grateful for any help in securing a positive outcome for them.

**RESCUE ONLY** NOT AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC ADOPTION**

We are seeking placement for three adorable kittens, approximately 6 weeks old, (2 females, 1 male) who are currently in our care and in need of a 501(c)(3) rescue.
These kittens are eating dry kitten food very well, are social, cuddly, and thriving. They would typically be headed to our adoption floor; however, they have tested positive for FIV.

Given their very young age, it is highly likely that these results are due to maternal antibodies passed from their mother rather than true infection. As many of you know, kittens can test positive for several months because of maternal antibodies, and retesting at 4–6 months of age often yields a negative result. Unfortunately, our shelter is unable to hold them for that length of time to determine their final status.

Because of this unique circumstance, we are reaching out to rescue organizations for assistance. We do not routinely offer FIV-positive kittens to rescue, so this opportunity will have a short deadline.

These little ones deserve the chance to grow up in a foster home where they can continue to receive care and be reevaluated when they are older.

If your rescue is able to help, please contact us as soon as possible. We are seeking a rescue commitment no later than Monday, June 8th.
Thank you for your consideration and for all you do for animals in need.
