Steely Dan

My story

Meet Steely Dan…,super sweet neutered male is approximately 5 years old. He is FIV+ but that doesn't stop him from loving life and people. Please help us find a permanent home for this lover! He was found starving but is improving by the day! Don't miss the opportunity to have this sweet boy in your home and in your arms! Quick Facts of FIV: FIV is a retrovirus that compromises a cat’s immune system. FIV is a feline-only virus that cannot be transmitted to humans. Cats who test positive for FIV can live for many years without serious symptoms. A positive FIV test result SHOULD NOT be a death sentence. FIV is most often transmitted through a bite from an infected cat Therefore, cats who test positive for FIV CAN live with FIV-negative cats with minimal risk of transmission as long as they do not fight to the point of biting. A positive FIV test in a cat is not necessarily a diagnosis. False positives can occur. We strongly recommend against testing community cats for FIV. Spaying and neutering is key to preventing FIV spread by minimizing biting behavior that is the main mode of transmission. More and more shelters realize FIV-positive cats are adoptable and creating lifesaving adoption programs for them. We have given him a birthday of December 1, 2019. Prior to adoption, we require an application to be submitted. The link can also be found on our web site. https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/FHcaA5rmsy1K5fw
