The king of delightful mischief
Claude has spent most of his life in a shelter. He was just 2 months old when he came to Palmetto Animal League in July of 2024. That means he has spent 425 days waiting and hoping for someone to bring him home.
Claude is FeLV-positive, which means he will be an indoor cat. Cats with feline leukemia, a virus that may suppress their immune system, can live very happy lives for many years. And just like any cat, they make good, loving companions. Claude has become a favorite of PAL staff and volunteers because he’s always up to something fun!
“What can I say about Claude, other than I love him,” says PAL volunteer Lori Higgins. “He is a sweet boy who is calm, social, and loving.”
Palmetto Animal League and many other shelters across the country believe that FeLV-positive cat are lives worth saving.
“We recommend discussing with your veterinarian the best strategies to reduce the risk when introducing a FeLV-positive cat to a multi-cat household, including vaccinating resident cats,” explains PAL President Amy Campanini. “FeLV-positive cats are just like other cats. They all have unique personalities and traits and will provide you with love, joy, and companionship.”
Claude is the king of delightful mischief, sure to keep you company and keep you laughing! His bright eyes and expressive face perfectly capture his playful spirit. While underneath lies a sweet and affectionate side, always ready for cuddles.
“I’ve known him since he was a baby, and I’ve watched him grow from a rambunctious kitten to a wonderful, tolerant, sweet, and loving young adult,” says Higgins. “And don’t get me started on how handsome he is!”
Claude is a bundle of joy with a knack for turning everyday moments into fun-filled adventures. After growing up at PAL, Claude deserves to know the love of a real home. If his story has touched your heart, meet him today at PAL’s no kill adoption center located at 56 Riverwalk Blvd in Okatie.
