Someone in San Antonio, TX reached out to me today because she has a sweet, magical boy with FIV who desperately needs a home ASAP. In fact, he's so sweet that his name is Sweet Boy. Look at that face - he obviously just wants love! 💔 (continued with more info)

She writes:

Screenshot of an instagram message that reads "Sweet Boy has lived with a large outdoor cat colony (that I take care of) for several years and gets along with all cats & people, although sometimes shy at first. I brought him indoors three weeks ago to heal from a deep cut on his inner thigh, which is fully healed! (I first brought him indoors in March for 10 days to recover from a mild illness.) 

All he wants is lap-&-nap time, and plenty of petting & brushing. He truly melts in your hands. He is one of the most gentle and easy cats I have ever met. He lets me trim his nails & clean his wound without any fuss. He looks up at me with such loving eyes!

He is FIV-positive, another reason he needs to be an indoor-only kitty now, to help him have the long healthy happy life he deserves. He is too gentle to be an outside boy. All his other tests came back clear! He just has fiv."
Screenshot of text that read "He has been TNR’d (about 2 years ago) so he did have an initial round of essential vaccines, rabies and felv. I also gave him a dose of Revolution Plus on 6-27-2024. He got two rounds of antibiotics injections for his wound. He does need an update on essential vaccines - the vet wanted to wait til he was healed up. I am happy to help with vet bills for him.

Please give Sweet Boy a gentle, quiet, soft place to enjoy his days, with lots of affection and treats. I would keep him in a heartbeat if I could. We have three indoors (non fiv) and we are moving out of town in a few weeks. I would love to find him a furrever home before then. He doesn’t mind being cooped up in the guest bathroom for now and he gets as much lap time as I can afford him! That’s the long version 😅 if helpful. Otherwise TLDR, sweet gentle fiv kitty needs a home. "

Reminds me of Chessie, the B&O railroad mascot.

As an owner of a FIV+ sweet boy, they make excellent pets. Unfortunately, I'm in Norway, so hopefully someone closer needs a sweetheart in their lives. (If someone is considering but on the fence, my boy is ten and I frequently forget he has FIV. It's that little of an everyday issue.)

We recently took in a cat with FIV, his owner, our neighbor, wanted him put down. We already had 5 cats and after a lot of research and talks with the Humane Society, we determined it would be safe to bring him home as long as they don’t fight. He’s been here since 4/5 & gets along with everyone.
