Domestic Short Hair - Gray and white - Belair - Large - Adult
BELAIR is a handsome three-year-old short-haired gray fellow with white tux and paws. He was trapped at a nearby condo complex on a cold, cold day. Since he is FIV-positive, he moved into our special room. For a while he was very defensive, and swiped at anyone who got too close. Now he has become a cuddly teddy bear who likes to be patted and brushed, and even tolerates being picked up and held. He likes people, and purrs, but is not really interested in socializing with other cats, preferring to ignore them. He could be an only kitty, but he might do fine with another passive FIV+ kitty. Belair would love to get out of this room and into a home where he can be loved and cherished. Come and meet this sweetheart soon ! FIV Facts: 1. The Feline Immunodeficiency Virus is a slow virus that affects a cat's immune system over a period of years. 2. FIV is a cat-only disease and cannot be spread to humans or other non-felines. 3. FIV cats most often live long, healthy, and relatively normal lives with no symptoms at all. 4. FIV is not easily passed between cats. It cannot be spread casually - like in litter boxes, water and food bowls, or when snuggling and playing. It is rarely spread from a mother to her kittens. 5. The virus can be spread through blood transfusions, badly infected gums, or serious, penetrating bite wounds. (Bite wounds of this kind are extremely rare, except in free-roaming, unneutered tomcats.) 6. A neutered cat, in a home, is extremely unlikely to infect other cats, if properly introduced. 7. Many vets are not educated about FIV since the virus was only discovered 15 years ago. 8. FIV-positive cats should be kept as healthy as possible. Keep them indoors and free from stress, feed them a high-quality diet, keep and treat any secondary problems as soon as they arise.
