Tino Bonino - FeLV+ - Monmouth County SPCA

Hi! I’m Tino Bonino, and I was found all alone as a very skittish, 1-year-old stray. A warm, loving home is just what I need to become a warm, loving boy, so I hope someone adopts me soon!

My purrfect adopter will be someone with a quiet, adult-only home, a big heart, and the patience to help me on my confidence journey. My friends at the MCSPCA know that, while I’m still very shy at the moment, all it will take is some time for me to grow out of my nervousness and bond with my furrever family. Will you be the one to give me a chance?

All MCSPCA kitties are tested for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) before they are put up for adoption. The test detects whether or not a cat has been exposed to FeLV. I tested positive on my SNAP test, but tested negative on my IFA test. What this means for me is that I was exposed to FeLV but could fight it off! I should be retested in 6 months to confirm I remain negative, but just in case, I should not go home to any other kitties at this time.

I guess you get me all to yourself! So if you have room in your heart for a special guy like me, come say hello!

Things to Know

We only do adoptions in person
Please bring equipment needed for your new pet
You will fill out a survey and meet with a counselor
Most adoptions take an hour or so to complete
Adoption process must begin 1-hour before closing

We are open to the public for walk-ins! If you are interested in adopting a dog, please be aware that our adoption floor is not open to walk through as we have found stress-levels, fear and anxiety of our dogs have decreased by limiting foot traffic. This results in a calmer living environment and a huge reduction of stress related behaviors. We have found that happier, less stressed dogs, ultimately lead to more successful adoptions too! Anyone who visits our shelter can view photos, bios, and videos of our available dogs and speak with an adoption counselor to meet any dog in one of our “meet and greet” rooms or our fenced in park. The cat floor is open to walk through.

You can save time and fill out a survey online, they are also available at the shelter. Completing a survey does not secure any animal for adoption. You do not need to submit a survey to visit, nor do you need to receive a response to a survey to visit (unless specifically noted on a post or bio). The survey is NOT an application that needs approval.
