Animal Adventures with
High Desert Museum
Introducing KNOX! This big,
handsome boy seeks a home
to call all his own. (At just over
18 pounds, he could lose a little
weight!) Knox is an outgoing,
friendly, curious guy who likes
to think he rules the house. He
arrived at the shelter with a few
injuries, and sadly, he did test
positive for FIV, but many cats
live long, healthy, happy lives
with FIV! With this condition,
Knox will need to live as an
indoor-only cat (and he prefers to
be the only animal in his home).
