Take a look at BT in his tiny aviator costume! That is what this candy man wore to have a good time sitting shotgun subsequent to the pilot, on his rescue flight from Texas to Massachusetts.

BT may simply haven’t made this journey. He’s diabetic, and has a illness referred to as feline leukemia (FeLV)—a virus that impacts a cat’s immune system.,. In lots of shelters, cats with FeLV are euthanized as a matter in fact. That is largely based mostly on the unfounded perception that individuals will not need to undertake cats with the sickness as a result of it impacts the animal’s life span.

However APA! has confirmed this isn’t the case. We have proven that not solely can cats with FeLV reside lengthy, wholesome lives however many adopters even search these cats out.  As a result of so many FeLV cats are euthanized in shelters, it may be laborious to seek out one who is out there.

That is what occurred with BT, whose adopters have been in Massachusetts. They beloved him from the second they noticed his picture, and so we caught him a transport flight to his new dwelling, on a aircraft that was in any other case stuffed with canine.

APA!’s Transport Program means hundreds of adoptable pets dealing with euthanasia in crowded Texas shelters are capable of attain in communities the place they’re welcomed into new properties.  Transport can even imply aviator fits on kitties who do not usually get to reside, within the present sheltering system. However after they do, after they do, they’re so particular, so wished, and so beloved, that individuals will transfer mountains—and airplanes—to get them to dwelling.
