Cat Rescue, Inc will make every effort to assure that the information we post on courtesy listings is up-to-date and accurate based upon what the current owners tell us.He is feline leukemia-positive. He has been neutered and is up to date on all of his shots. He LOVES snuggling in laps, and is a true love bug. He is as healthy as can be, and loves to play. Not sure how old he is, but he is older than 2. According to Cornell University, Feline leukemia virus (FeLV), a retrovirus, so named because of the way it behaves within infected cells. All retroviruses, including feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), produce an enzyme, reverse transcriptase, which permits them to insert copies of their own genetic material into that of the cells they have infected. Although related, FeLV and FIV differ in many ways, including their shape: FeLV is more circular while FIV is elongated. The two viruses are also quite different genetically, and their protein consituents are dissimlar in size and composition. Although many of the diseases caused by FeLV and FIV are similar, the specific ways in which they are caused differs. It is impossible to accurately predict the life expectancy of a cat infected with FeLV. With appropriate care and under ideal conditions, infected cats can remain in apparent good health for many months, although most succumb to a FeLV-related disease within two or three years after becoming infected. Cat Rescue, Inc., brings other available cats and kittens to four Petsmart locations (S. Plaza Trail/Rosemont, Pembroke area, Greenbriar, and the Patrick Henry Mall) on Saturdays from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. You may also visit the adoption centers at Petsmart's S.
