Mack
2011 Big Mack is a super sweet fellow who is FIV+
He was rescued from the streets, and when the rescue combo tested him they were
horrified to see that he was FELV+ & FIV+. Later we did more accurate tests and
he is in fact only FIV+.
Being a small group with no adoption opportunities for him, and all their foster homes
full, they made an appointment to euthanize him. One of their members knew about
our new building and contacted us to see if we could take him. He owns his life to that
volunteer, had she not contacted us and had we not had room he would have lost his life.
This is a super sweet fellow who gives head bumps and loves to be loved on.
We are happy to have him.
Update: 2019 Big Mack is much older and starting to show his age. He developed
hyper thyroid a few years ago and received radiation therapy to cure it. He has the
cutest chirp and loves to sit in your lap and have his belly rubbed. We love this big fellow
and hope we have many more years with him.

Sweet Mack was our very first FIV+ kitty. He came to us from a rescue who had
made an appointment to euthanize him just because he was FIV+. One of their
volunteers heard we were building a new building for FIV & FELV+ cats and begged
for his life. He was the very first kitty to come into the building.
The last 6 months he started struggling with his health and had several
appointments with the vet. He was an old cat, he was the only one that actually
knew his age but we figure somewhere around 18 years old. The last few weeks we
could see that our time was coming to an end. Today and yesterday we could not
get him to eat, all he did was curl up in a tight ball and sleep. He looked miserable.
His eyes said he was tired, we knew it was time to let him go.
Mack was absolutely the nicest cat you could ever hope to meet. He loved all
humans and got along with all cats. The only time I ever saw Mack show any dislike
of anyone or anything was dogs... OMG, he strongly disliked dogs. Mack lived as a
stray for some time, he had the scars that showed how rough his life had been. For
over 9 years he lived safely with us, warm, dry, fed and very much loved.
We will all miss his happy chirping purr and sweet disposition. He went in my arms
purring to the end. My heart is broken. He would visit with me when I would come
in to do Scotty's insulin. I would hold him in my arms and dance with him. I shall
miss him very much!
