SNAP Cats rescued Coco from San Francisco, CA. Coco has joined The 60% Club! Coco came to SNAP Cats FeLV+ in February 2026. Since she’s been so active and healthy, we tested her again and she tested negative! So she’s out and about in our general population.

For those who don’t know, 60% of adult cats with FeLV can naturally shed the virus, and stay virus-free for the rest of their lives. Coco makes number 12 (out of 19 cats) that’ve naturally shed the virus here. Congrats, Coco!

Coco is extremely sweet and outgoing. She’s then first kitty to greet you when entering our FeLV+ Habitat, and hounds you for pets and attention until you leave. Coco is great with other cats, kids, and uses the litter box 100% of the time.

Here's Coco's whole story:

Coco was given to Mike Zeidan, of Randa's Market in San Francisco, to be a mouser. Mike’s previous store kitty was the beloved KitKat who lived at the market for 8 years before being run over and killed by a Waymo car. You might have heard about this incident. It was all over the news and was quite traumatic for Mike and the 16th street community, who all knew and loved KitKat.

So Mike took Coco in to be spayed and was crushed when Coco turned out to be FeLV+. He was going to return Coco to the original guardian until he found out there were other cats living there. Now what?

Enter Karen, a huge SNAP Cats supporter. Karen knows Mike through her hubby, Rick, who works at the Roxie theater next door Mike’s Market and who helped Mike navigate the whole publicity generated by the Waymo death of KitKat. Still following? So Karen reached out to us…

And the rest is history.
