Pookie
FIV Positive
Gender: Female
Approximate Age (As of 2025): Less than a year
Arrived From: Pembroke, NC
Arrival Day: 1/30/2025
Pookie’s journey began in an apartment complex where she and her siblings
were forced to scrounge for food to survive. A kind-hearted person began
feeding them in an effort to earn their trust and trap them for vet care.
Unfortunately, when the landlord found out, he insisted they be removed or
"taken care of." Both Pookie and her sibling were suffering from upper
respiratory infections, and Pookie’s eyes were severely gunked over.
Thankfully, Alyson stepped in to help and was able to catch and foster them,
giving them the time and care they needed to heal.
Once Pookie was feeling better, we discovered that she had entropion, a
condition where her eyelids turned inward, irritating her eyes. At the vet, she
was also tested and found to be FIV-positive. Her sibling, with a more
confident nature, was quickly adopted. Pookie, however, remained more timid,
likely due to having to fend for herself at such a young age. Despite her
shyness, she is an incredibly playful little girl who loves to head-bonk her
human friends!
