Foster Update 2/2014:


Foster Update 12/23/13:So much love is bursting from this sweet, outgoing and happy boy! He is always purring -- he just can't stop! He likes to be with us (sometimes getting underfoot -- we have to be careful) but is also happy to be on his own. Gumby loves belly scratches and usually flops down on the ground for a pet after following us around the house. He is young and full of energy, but is sure to get his daily allotment of kitty naps. He often falls asleep on his back, which is so cute.

Gumby gets along well with other cats and in fact seems to enjoy their company. He thinks both naptime and playtime are fun with friends! He is playful with others but also plays with toys on his own.

Gumby has a good appetite and nibbles from his dry food throughout the day. Once or twice a day he gets treats and/or wet food, which he eats with enthusiasm. He is very polite though and does not bother his people when they are eating. No begging here! We are feeding him a premium food which seems to help to manage his health, along with aggressive flea control, as he has noticeable allergic reactions to fleas.

What an AMAZING and SWEET cat. Did I say Sweet? If you even look at him he starts purring away! He rolls around on the floor and just wants a belly rub! Such a wonderful cat. I honestly can't say enough about him. He is ALL of the volunteers and staff's favorite cat. From the minute you take a look at him you will fall in love! This boy is a LOVER! He will melt your heart. He is FIV + but take a look at his pictures - does he look sick to you? More & more FIV + cats are living the average cat years with a good diet and being kept inside.

Foster Upate 1/27:

Gumbo’s personality is just wonderful. He loves sitting with us as much as he is content sitting by himself. He just always seems to be happy. He gets along well with the other foster we have had. He is playful with her but also plays with toys on his own.

His appetite continues to be very good and there are no litter box issues to report. Despite some skin issues mentioned below, his coat continues to be smooth and he still barely sheds. He enjoys being brushed though it’s not entirely necessary. I have been able to clip his nails unrestrained if I do a few at a time.

So what is FIV? FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. You may be saying "Immunodeficiency virus? Wait, isn't that AIDS?!" No, they are not the same disease. In both FIV and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus, the disease that causes AIDS), the immune system doesn't work right. You could say they are very distant cousins. But humans CANNOT get FIV. It is only transmitted from cat to cat. Dogs also cannot get FIV. If you're worried about your FIV+ cat getting lonely without another feline, why not consider adopting another FIV+ cat?
