While he resembles Winston Churchill from Stephen King’s infamous Pet Cemetery, we can ASSURE you the Franklin is anything but an evil kitty!
Franklin is a big, handsome slate gray colored former “Tom” cat with a playful, quirky personality. OBSESSED with human loves, Franklin loves people and is very friendly with them. He loves attention, but he and his silly-self likes to claw when you try to leave him because he loves the attention so much! He also loves to hug and likes to try to sleep with humans. Some of the staff must give him temptation treats so that he doesn’t try to attack their ankles when they leave the room! He is very treat motivated.
Franklin is estimated to be about 8-10 years old. Franklin has FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). While this virus is NOT able to pass to humans, it CAN pass to other felines. Because of this, we will need Franklin to be in a home where he is the only kitty, OR in another FIV positive home with another kitty who also has the virus.
FIV is typically transmitted from kitty to kitty through deep bite wounds. Where Franklin was an unaltered male before he came the the shelter and lived outside, he was probably more susceptible to getting the virus due to cat fights and such.
We know there is someone out there for Franklin.
