Boots (FIV+)
Adult • Male • Large
Boots is an estimated 5-6 year old cat who was found roaming on one of our staff's street. He has lived outside for most of his life but was easily won over with food and love. He was cared for outdoors for a few months before he showed up with an abscess from fighting with other males. Even when he was injured, he still wanted love and ran up to our staff member. He earned a trip to the clinic where his wound was cleaned and is now healed, he was neutered and FIV/FeLV tested. Unfortunately, from his years of living on the streets, he did contract FIV. However, FIV is not a death sentence and many cats live a full healthy life if well cared for. FIV cats can live with negative cats without transmission if there is no aggressive fighting or mating. He might be more prone to infections due to the FIV but as long as they're cared for in a timely manner there shouldn't be an issue. Boots has been a very healthy lovely boy while at the clinic, he is always looking for a leg to rub on and is vocal about his wants for affection. The only other thing to mention is we have noticed he can be a bit head shy and have suspected people haven't always been kind to him. However, he is getting better everyday and never strikes out in fear, just shy's away. He would do best in an INDOOR ONLY home that is relatively stress free. He's not aggressive towards dogs but isn't the biggest fan of them, he would do best with either no dogs or a dog that is calm and respects his space. He doesn't mind other cats at all and has never gotten aggressive with one since being neutered and lives with 2 other clinic cats. Currently he is on Hills rx gastro biome food, however he would probably not need to be on a prescription food and would benefit from a sensitive stomach or probiotic diet.
