I have a sponsor buddy! My fee and microchip have been waived. FIV+ CAT: I was tested for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and the results are positive. FIV attacks the immune system, leaving the cat vulnerable to many other infections. Although cats infected with FIV may appear normal for years, they eventually suffer from this immune deficiency, which allows normally harmless bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi, found in the everyday environment, to potentially cause severe illnesses. The primary mode of transmission for FIV is through bite wounds. Casual, non-aggressive contact does not appear to be an efficient route of spreading the virus. As a result, cats in households with stable social structures where housemates do not fight are at little risk of acquiring FIV infections. An infected cat's health may deteriorate progressively or be characterized by recurrent illness interspersed with periods of relative health. Sometimes not appearing for years after infection, signs of immunodeficiency can appear anywhere throughout the body. It is recommended that FIV+ cats have regular frequent vet care to monitor for any new clinical signs. Primary Color: Orange W/white Weight: 13.7 Age: 7yrs 0mths 2wks
