About Roger- FIV Positive | |
|
|
Roger is an outgoing gentleman with a curious temperament and a total love for human companionship. He is the kind of cat that welcomes you home enthusiastically and wants to be invited to sit on your lap for a snuggle. He’s even been caught snuggling with a calm dog in his foster home.
Roger has FIV, but that’s not the only positive thing about him! He is confident, gently affectionate even with strangers, and enjoys exploring. He is very food motivated and intelligent to boot.
The FIV virus is not a reason not to adopt! It is not transmissible to people or to non-cat
species and is not a death sentence. It simply reduces a cat's immune system as the cat
ages, which can leave the cat more vulnerable to other feline infections later in life.
Cat to cat transmission does not occur with casual contact and it is not airborne.
Cats who are FIV+ live long, happy lives! Please check out the below informational links about FIV to understand why it is not a reason to shy away from adopting:
