Hello, my name is Bolt!
The GHS family thinks I’m awesome because I am a happy and cuddly boy. I love to run and play, and get the “zoomies” a few times a day; once I’ve worn myself out, I find a nice sun spot to relax and naps.
My new family should know that I have a progressive FeLV infection, which means I need to be an indoor cat. Feline leukemia (FeLV) is contagious to other cats, and therefore, would recommend consulting with your veterinarian on risks of adding me to a feline-friendly home. Due to my compromised immune system, my new family should be prepared that I may start to show symptoms related to FeLV or take longer to recovery from ailments that wouldn’t be a “big deal” to other cats. I can still live a very happy life in a quiet environment and with regular veterinary care, so the GHS recommends speaking to your vet prior to adopting me.
Here’s some more information on cats with FeLV (click the image for a larger view):
