Critter Details

Outgoing and social kitty who just loves getting his puffy manly cheeks petted. He is a fluffy cat who arrived heavily matted, so shelter staff shaved off his mattes. His new owner will need to remember to brush him regularly, at least twice a week, to prevent future mattes. He seems to be a lap cat, but has been known to love bite as well, so a cat-savvy household is recommended for him.Luigi is FIV+, so he must be an inside only cat. FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) is a slow acting virus that affects the cat’s immune system. FIV is a cat-only virus, and cannot be transmissible to humans or other species of animals. FIV is not spread casually, like in litter boxes, food and water bowls, or when snuggling and playing. Instead, FIV is spread through serious, penetrating bite wounds — The type of bite wound that is seen most often in feral, intact tomcats — or by blood transfusions. FIV+ cats can live in a household with other non-FIV+ cats if they are all non-aggressive. Cats that live together without fighting and are easy going in nature are at little risk for becoming infected. Cats with FIV can live very long, perfectly comfortable lives. Provide FIV+ cats with a good diet and annual veterinarian exam, and address any secondary health concerns as they arise.**WALK IN SHELTER TO ADOPT Tuesday Noon-5pm, Wednesday 12-6pm, Thursday-Sunday Noon-5pm (Closed Mondays and Holidays).
