From Bond County Humane Society

Hi, my name is Freckles and I'm about 4 1/2 years old. I was a stray and rescued by a BCHS volunteer, and brought to Bond County Humane Society to find a loving permanent home. I am playful and like to chase bouncy balls. I like to get to know you before I want to be petted. Of course, this is all on my terms. I determine when and how long you can pet me. I love to explore and look in all the nooks and crannies around the shelter. I am considered Special Needs for a couple reasons. First, I tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). FIV is comparable to AIDS in people. It is transmitted to other cats by scratching or biting. There is not a vaccine available to provide immunity to other cats so I need to be the only cat in the household or live with other FIV positive cats. I can have a normal life expectancy of a cat. The most important things for me are a low stress environment, good quality food and regular veterinarian care. Second, I was also diagnosed with IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) which requires me to have a special diet. It is extremely important for me to stay healthy. I get along well with the other cats who have been in the FIV room at the shelter…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.

How adopting Freckles works

Bond County Humane Society decides every adoption: its application, its fee, its home check and its timing. Everybarn only shows this animal on the rescue's behalf, takes no payment and passes no messages.
