Featured Adoption
Benny & Budweiser
Domestic short-hair
Males/Neutered/Special Needs
Meet Benny (buff, 6 years old) and Budweiser (Bud) (black, 3 years old).
Their owner has passed away at a young age and NAfA would like to re-home them together.
They have both tested positive for feline leukemia, however cats who test positive for FeLV can live for many years without serious symptoms. You can contact Lisa at NAfA; she can tell you more about this.
Benny was semi-feral when the owner adopted him, but over the years he has settled, although a little nervous of new situations and people.
Bud was adopted as a young kitten and has only known one home. He is very affectionate.
These cats are bonded.
