Griffin Domestic Short Hair Webster City, IA

Meet Griffin! He is a very playful boy who loves to wrestle with other kitties, climb on cat trees, and play with anything that will roll! Griffin would be a great companion for your kitty that gets lonely while you are gone, and it would be great for Griffin to be in a home with people who understand that he is a shy guy, and allow him to get used to them and come out of his shell over a period of time. The reward will be that once Griffin gets comfortable with you, he has a strong purr motor, and he loves to be held like a baby and get kisses! Griffin is our King of The Cat Hut, meaning that he has been with us and available for adoption the longest of any cat! Let's find King Griffin a castle that he can call home!

We found out on his neuter surgery day that Griffin is FIV positive. But the great news is that, once a cat is spayed or neutered, it is very unlikely that they can pass FIV to any other cat! The two main ways of transmission of FIV are through blood contact, which is most often the result of fighting, and reproduction. Both behaviors are greatly reduced or completely eliminated by spaying and neutering! FIV used to be a death sentence for cats in shelters, but with advanced education we have learned that FIV positive cats can live regular lives just like any other cat! Because of the very low possibility of transmission to other cats, Griffin is perfectly able to be adopted into a home with other non-FIV cats, and he gets to play everyday with the other cats here at The Cat Hut! His best friend is Martin, and you can see the two of them playing together in the video! You can read more about FIV at the link below:

Griffin is affected by a condition called subluxating patella. The femur bone has a groove in it that the tendons that hold the patella, the kneecap, sits in. Griffin's did not form correctly before he was born, so the tendons roll around, causing his knees to be able to pop out of place when he walks. The fantastic news is that Griffin isn't in any pain, so there is absolutely nothing special that his forever home needs to do for him! He still climbs and jumps just like any other 8 month old kitten! He may never have pain from his knees, which is the best outcome ever! There is a surgery available to help Griffin in case he ever started to be in pain. But until then, Griffin is pretty much a regular kitty just waiting here at The Cat Hut for his forever family to come and meet him!
Griffin's Adoption Fee has been waived to get him one step closer to a loving forever home!
