Baby Potato Litter – Tater, Yam, Spud, Turnip, Taro – Special Needs

Due to their positive feline leukemia virus, the kittens in this litter will need to be the only cats in the home, but they will fill any home with purrs, love, and laughter. Please consider giving one or more of these kittens the loving home that they deserve.

All of the kittens in this litter have tested positive for Feline Leukemia.  Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a retrovirus belonging to the coronavirus subfamily, which means it is a cancer-causing virus. FeLV can cause severe anemia and suppress the immune system, leaving the cat vulnerable to a variety of opportunistic diseases. FeLV is not transmissible to humans.

FeLV cats generally have a shortened lifespan.  A realistic expectation is 1-3 years.  This litter was born to a mom who has also tested positive.. They are currently in a loving foster home and are ready to move on to their forever home.  Cats with FeLV require routine vet care, a good diet, low stress, and lots of love.  Please keep them indoors to protect them from picking up any infection from outdoors.  Cats with FeLV are usually pretty healthy, until they aren’t.  If you are interested in providing a loving home to these sweet kittens, please submit an application.  We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
