I'm Cal, short for Calcifer - isn't that a fun name? I was found as a stray under a kind person's porch. They took good care of me and even took me to the vet, which is where they found out I am positive for FIV - feline immunodeficiency virus. And it's true, my immune system is compromised and this is something I could technically pass on to other cats, but this is actually only commonly passed on by deep wounds, such as when cats get into a fight, or when cats, um, well, mate or if kittens are born with an FIV-positive parent. Since I'm fixed and as long as I go into a home with fixed cats, those latter ones aren't really an issue. I can live with other cats, as long as they are comfortable with another kitty sharing their space and the risk of fighting is extremely low. FIV cannot be passed to dogs or humans by any means. You can learn more about FIV at this link here. But there is more to me than being FIV positive. See, I can have a pretty normal life outside of it! I love my fox blanket and bed, and mealtimes are some of my favorite times of day. Although I am shy, if you give me a chance and show some patience, I am actually a very sweet and loving girl. I also LOVE looking out windows (so please make sure your windows are closed or screens are secure so I can't sneak out, just in case!). I'm one of those mellow, sweet cats that tries not to take up a lot of space, but once you notice me, I just seem to sparkle and you'll love the time you spend with me. I would be the perfect companion for someone who wants a special friend to come home to after class or work. Think we might be a good fit for each other? Come by and meet me! show less

Oh my, please come on gently. My name is Sophie, and this is my best friend, Piggy. I love carrying Piggy the toy everywhere with me for comfort. See, I'm 6 years old and only knew one home for my whole life, so when my family moved and I had to come to the shelter, I found all the changes super scary. I still bark loudly when someone new approaches my kennel, and because I'm a pretty big girl, I can sound fairly scary! But yummy treats and lots of patience help me warm up to people, and then I am a big baby. I love going for car rides and ride very well - no carsickness here! I am not sure about other dogs or cats in the shelter setting, but a lot of things are scaring me right now. I did previously live with small dogs and got along with them, so it's possible that with proper introductions, I might be able to settle in with another dog, but I would recommend this course only if my future family is experienced with introductions. Otherwise, I make a wonderful solo companion! I have not spent much time with cats but I have shown signs of a high-prey drive when outside and have pulled my handlers on the leash - I definitely need more leash training! Come meet me at the SPCA of Hancock County at 141 Bar Harbor Rd, Trenton, ME 04605! Please note that right now, to keep all the humans that care for me safe, visits are by appointment only. So fill out an application on me and they can schedule a meet-and-greet at your convenience. I hope we're a pawfect fit! And if we're not, you might meet your next pet while visiting me, so it's worth it to fill out that application! If you aren't in a position to adopt right now, you can still support me through our Pet Pal program. Monthly givers in our Pet Pal program get letters, photos, and more directly from us animals - you can even mention you want to hear directly from me. Join today! show less
