Notes from Stray Love Foundation, Inc.

Meet Vanilla, a beautiful 12-week-old fluffy black and white little girl who is the lighter-colored sister, with more white than her sister Domino! Vanilla is a playful, curious little explorer who absolutely loves attention. She enjoys climbing, investigating everything around her, and showing off her kitten personality before curling up for some serious snuggle-and-nap time. She is good with cats, dogs, and kids and is already litter box trained.

Vanilla is spayed, vaccinated for her age, microchipped, and on prevention. She is FeLV negative but is currently testing positive for FIV. Since Vanilla is only 12 weeks old, this positive test may be due to antibodies passed to her by her mother rather than an actual FIV infection. Kittens born to FIV-positive mothers can test positive while those maternal antibodies are still present, and many will test negative once the antibodies have naturally cleared. Vanilla should be retested around 6 months of age, and there is a very good chance she will test negative at that time.

Even in cats who remain FIV positive, FIV does not prevent them from living long, happy lives. FIV is typically transmitted through deep bite wounds, so it is not easily spread through normal interactions such as sharing food and water, grooming, playing, or snuggling.

Vanilla’s adoption fee is $200. She would love to find a forever family where she can spend her days playing, exploring, climbing, and then curling up in your lap for a well-earned kitten nap!

Please remember: Unless otherwise specified, all our kittens and cats are strictly indoor pets.

If you’re interested in adoption, please visit straylovefoundation.org and complete an adoption application.

Every rescue in our care receives comprehensive vetting, which includes:

A combo test Deworming Spay/neuter procedures Vaccinations Microchipping

We take every possible step to ensure their health and happiness, giving them the best chance at a long, fulfilling life.

While we do everything in our power to provide healthy rescues, it's important to note that some animals may have genetic health conditions we cannot predict (since we don’t have their family history). Additionally, medical tests—though highly reliable—can occasionally yield false negatives. Unexpected health issues may arise, either before or after adoption, but thanks to our thorough vetting process, the likelihood of a long and healthy life is very high.

Additional adoption details:

Transportation fees, if applicable, vary based on distance and expenses. Home checks may be conducted. Our standard tax-deductible adoption donation is $200. For special breeds, uniquely colored, or exceptionally adorable rescues, we may request a higher donation to help cover vet expenses.
