Klaus

My story

Klaus is coming to town!Fittingly, Klaus arrived at EHS from a municipal animal shelter during the Christmas season. Similarly to his namesake Santa, Klaus is described as having a big, bold personality and is ready to settle down in a place to call home.ABOUT KLAUS- In foster- Having once lived as a stray on the streets, Klaus is cautious when it comes to new people and environments. A big fan of the slow approach, he appreciates those who take the time to get to know him through gentle communication and soft blinks. If he feels unsafe, he will hiss and swat.- Once he is comfortable, he loves a few head and chin scritches with the back-scratcher.- He loves to snuggle in his kennel in the shelter but also to survey the world around him while resting on top of his cat tree.- Klaus has FIV, which is a virus that weakens the immune system of a cat but is not transmissible to humans or other species.- He is a skittish cat who has had minimal experience with humans.- He is currently enrolled in EHS’s socialization program, where dedicated volunteers are working to help him become more comfortable around people.- Klaus is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations.KLAUS’ IDEAL HOME- Klaus would prefer to be the only cat of the household.- Klaus does not require medication but vet checkups twice a year are recommended.- Cats who have FIV can live just as long as other cats if they are properly cared for with a good diet, an indoor home, and a loving family. - A skittish cat, like Klaus, will benefit from a calm, quiet environment, preferably without small children.- Potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help Klaus settle into his new environment. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Klaus with a successful transition to his forever home.Always nice and sometimes naughty, Klaus is ready to retire his past life and start again in time for the new year.
