Hi my name is Sir Ryland. As you would expect with a name like mine I am a regal boy who is always wearing a tuxedo! I’ve been told by all the volunteers at King Street Cats how charming and sweet I am. I love people and am good with other cats.
I am FIV+, which means that I have Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.
Don't go away! - 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 WET, CANNED diet (preferably grain-free, high-protein)
-
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,
-
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!
