ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR VERY OWN FESTIVAL OF FELINE AFFECTION? HERE HE IS! YOU CAN CUDDLE HIM, SNUGGLE HIM - AND SMOOSH HIM! HE JUST LOVES TO BE HELD

3 Paws is FIV+ ... and he is Positively Adoptable! Please read below for information about how adoptable FIV+ kitties really are.

Hello friends! My name is 3 Paws - but guess what, I have four paws! I don't know how I earned my name, but it's catchy and I hope you'll remember it, fall in love with what you read here, meet me in person, and take me home so we can start our own feline festival of affection! That's what I have to offer, and I hope that's what you're in the market for. 

I came to King Street Cats from another shelter. My KSC friends saw my potential as soon as they met me.  I'm a friendly, mellow and very affectionate young boy of just one (1) year old. My favorite thing is to be held in your arms! We can cuddle, snuggle and smoosh. That's right - smoosh! One of my KSC friends declared that I am the most "smooshiest" kitty after holding and cuddling me and soaking up the loving and purrs that I have to offer my human friends. 

Yes, I am FIV+, which means that I have Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Let's talk about this and then we'll get right into the many reasons why I am "Positively Adoptable" and going to make someone a very happy purrson!

FIV is not the same as Feline AIDS. It is not the same as the human forms of HIV or AIDS. You cannot catch it, and my care requirements are no different from what any cat lover does for his or her cat companions. "Feline AIDS" is a condition which may (or may not) develop at the end of a cat's life. An FIV+ cat does not necessarily develop Feline AIDS. FIV can only be spread from one cat to another cat through deep-puncture bite wounds. 

Here's what I'll need in terms of care: I'll need you to feed me a high quality diet (preferably a grain-free, high-protein canned/wet food), come to know my behaviors so that you can notice changes that may be health-related, develop a good working relationship with a veterinarian who is current on FIV issues, and seek that veterinarian's assistance if you notice any changes in my behavior. That's all. Wouldn't you do that for any kitty? I thought so! 

I get along with the other kitties here in the KSC cat room too! They say I'm pretty much the perfect family boy - I just love everyone! Do you have a nice canine friend who would enjoy my company? Hooray! I will always be happy to see you when you come home and I'll always be thinking about how I can entice you to pick me up for hugs, cuddles - and smooshes.

I'm an adorable young boy with jet black fur, a snowy white chin, a snowy white tuxedo, matching whiskers and bright golden eyes. You'll love cuddling me because my short fur is soft and silky.

Are you looking for a feline festival of affection?? That's what I'll bring when we go home together.  I'm practicing my charms on the KSC volunteers while I wait for my own purrson to read about me, send that magic email, and come to meet me. Is it you?

Please send that email to contact@kingstreetcats.org and ask for me, 3 Paws, the smooshiest kitty around.

Affectionately yours,
3 Paws
