LOVING, SILLY, CURIOUS

Meet Mew Fighters! This kitty is super playful and loves to zoom around the house, inspecting every nook and cranny he can find. He's not a fancy boy who needs special cat toys to stay busy. He loves to juggle hair ties, bat around wine corks, and even a fallen chickpea or crouton will get him puffed up with excitement and bouncing around the kitchen. He is also excellent at tapping into his inner predator and does a good job of catching any bugs that flit into the house. Whenever he's got all his energy out, Mew Fighters will settle down on a bed or couch for a good long nap.

Mew Fighters is very affectionate, chirping and running to you for love when you get home. He'll weave through your legs when you're doing your dishes and give your toes little nibbles that tell you he wants to play. His only no-no is being picked up - he doesn't like the lack of control and will squirm right out of your arms! At night, after he's finished securing the house, he'll snuggle up next to you in bed and be the little spoon!

Mew Fighters has tested positive for Feline Leukemia. FeLV is not a type of cancer. It's a virus that causes a weaker immune system and often a shorter life-span. For the most part, "FeLVies are just like any other cat. APA! waives the adoption fees of these cats, and provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption. Mew Fighters can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine! Any questions? We'd love to talk with you about FeLV care.

Mew Fighters is very self-sufficient and easily entertained. He is okay as an only child, but we think he'd do very well with another FeLV+ buddy to wrestle and snuggle with.
Contact APA! if this playful kitty sounds like the purr-fect companion for you!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
