This week’s cat of the week is Makayla, the 3 year old domestic shorthair that has captured the hearts of many at Northern Oklahoma Humane Society. Makayla has been at NOKHS since the middle of August and is waiting for her chance at a forever home. Makayla stood out because of her loving personality, on top of her gorgeous markings. Unlike some at NOKHS, Makayla has never met a stranger and is the kind of cat that is pressing her face up against the kennel trying to get your attention. Makayla is truly the perfect cat. She loves people and would never turn down a good love session or a treat, in fact, the only time this little lady shows her frustrations is when you stop petting her. Unfortunately, Makayla has been diagnosed as FIV+, which is an immunodeficiency virus. Cats infected with this can have symptoms of recurrent illnesses such as runny nose or sneezing, inflammations of the eyes or skin, and more. There is no true cure for FIV and it will be something that Makayla will have for the rest of her life. Regardless of her condition, Makayla refuses to let it get her down and she needs a family and a home. Because of her condition, it is safer if Makayla is an only cat to minimize the risk of the virus spreading. Makayla is so incredibly sweet and loving. Her greatest wish is to have a family she can love and be loved by.
