CaRMaH Cat of the Week! Minnie!

Monday August 17th is National Black Cat appreciation day! These beauties get a bad rap, and I know from personal experience they are sweet loving cats who will be a wonderful addition to your home!

I’m Minnie, and I play bass for the Discordants. Oh, maybe I EAT bass, the fish, when I can get! I’m an amazingly affectionate girl, great for getting the crowd in to our act. I’m also supportive of my bandmates, and we have a lovely time rocking together. I get psyched when the laser lights start - just watch how wild I can get! I’m in great health, though I test discordant for leukemia - see below.

Can I rock your world?

I’ve had discordant test results for feline leukemia, which means I tested positive on one type of test (ELISA test) and negative on another test (IFA test). I was exposed to the feline leukemia virus until May and may be in the process of clearing the virus from my body. I will be retested mid August to determine if the result is still positive. While results are discordant, I should be treated as if I have leukemia and should not be exposed to other cats (with the exception of the other discordants). The testing would be repeated every 4-8 weeks until the results match.

All our cats are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, tested for FeLV/FIV, microchipped, treated for parasites and checked by a vet before adoption. To apply please go to http://www.carmah.org/info/adoption. Questions can be sent to: adoptacat@carmah.org

OUR KITTEN POLICY: Kittens under the age of 6 months need other cats for social development and fewer behavioral problems - and they keep each other company when people aren’t around. So, we adopt out kittens in pairs, or with their charming momcats, or into home already having a young or active cat.
