SINATRA is a handsome, well-behaved adult black & white Tuxedo cat (approx. 10+ years old), a stray who had been living outdoors, fed by a good samaritan. He's so very friendly, easy-going and very talkative (he chirps & chortles & trills & sings to you - has a large assortment of varied kitty noises!) and is so happy when you pet him that he can't help but make biscuits on the floor, in the air, on you; whatever! He also likes to be brushed! (We think that he's actually a dog in a kitty suit!) He had been living outside and was in pretty rough, beat-up condition; found to have BB pellets under his skin - he'd been shot with a BB gun!! He also had old scars & an abscess on his head (healed), a broken & infected tooth (taken care of), a scarred eye (eye-drops help with that) and a painful hip (no longer being painful) plus he's FIV+. So Purrfect Friends has taken him in to get him the medical help he needs & to help find him a wonderful new home. His left eye was diagnosed with Glaucoma, and daily eye drops were able to control the pain & progression for awhile; but he recently had to have it removed. He developed severe mouth pain; diagnosed with Stomatitis and all teeth were removed; he's completely recovered and pain-free from that. ** Sinatra's blood test indicates that he has FIV ( Feline immunodeficiency virus ) , which causes a weakening of the cat's immune system. Don't let it scare you away - it's not contagious to other cats except thru deep fighting, biting wounds, so neutered pet cats can live together very comfortably & safely. Sinatra is currently housed alongside other FIV negative kitties in his foster home. Many, probably most FIV+ cats live long healthy lives; others may get sick occasionally & need vet care more quickly because of it.
