About this Cat
From Starry Nights to Red Vineyards, Van Gogh is eagerly waiting for his chance to come home and paint your Bedroom in Arles with endless strokes of orange fur! Less tortured artist and more comforting companion, Van Gogh's first impressions tend to be that of a demure but quirky man, which while still true once you do get to know each other more, aren't the whole of his being. He also enjoys a tasty meal, a good wand toy, bird watching through the window and good nap on the sofa. Because of his sensitive nature in new spaces, both with handling and his skittish nature around quick movements, Van Gogh should not be displayed in a home with any young children that could trigger his stress. But to the trusted adults in his circle...move slow, be patient, and prepare to be trapped under a purring avalanche of orange! Even with visitors he can be very friendly once he has time to get to know everybody. So if we were to try and describe him in less than a hundred words, we'd have to say Van Gogh is the finest feline of them all. His command of catnip is magnificent. He has transformed the pain of his time as a stray into ecstatic beauty. To use your adorable floofiness and soft meows to bring such joy and magnificence in our world - no cat has ever done it like him before, and perhaps no one ever will again. To our minds, this wild cat who once roamed the fields of New Jersey is not only the world's greatest orange cat, but also the greatest one who ever lived! Van Gogh has tested positive for both FeLV and FIV, and has recently started medication (including inhaler use) for suspected feline asthma. Please reach out to PAWS staff for more info! **Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a virus that is specific to cats that weakens a cat’s immune system. Cats with FeLV can live normal, happy, healthy lives—but with a shorter life expectancy than cats without FeLV. At PAWS, we believe every pet deserves to live out their life in a loving home for whatever time they have. We hope you'll consider opening your home to this special kitty! For more information feel free to check out the FeLV FAQs we have available on our website!** ***FIV is specific to the feline species, and is not transmissible to dogs, humans, or any other animals. It is spread from cat to cat via mating or deep puncture bite wounds. Thankfully, all our cats are spayed or neutered so mating is no longer an option! Since FIV does not spread through casual contact like grooming, sneezing, and food/litter sharing, FIV+ cats can live with other cats that have tested negative as long as the cats get along without fighting.*** Age: ~ 2 year old How I came to PAWS: Found Stray Animal ID#: A-179454 I am in foster care and am not at the shelter. Please email [email protected] to learn more about me! FeLV+ adopters are also eligible for an Amazon gift card after adoption! Our staff can let you know more during/after bringing your new pet home!

Adopt Van Gogh and Receive Van Gogh's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Van Gogh's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Van Gogh's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Van Gogh, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Van Gogh's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Van Gogh was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Van Gogh’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Van Gogh’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Van Gogh’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
