Diamond's Info...
| Breed: | Domestic Shorthair | Color: | Black & White Or Tuxedo | Age: | Adult |
| Sex: | Male | ID#: | 5360626-12-275 | Hair: | Short |
I am already neutered, housetrained, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Diamond is a beautiful male who is between one and two years old. He was found abandoned, but certainly doesn't let it show! He gives and receives love and affection to anyone willing to pay attention to him.
He is FIV positive (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) which unlike humans does not mean that they need medications or any special care at all, just that I be kept as an indoor-cat. Regardless of this, he is still a healthy and active young man and expected live a good long life, as it's not uncommon for FIV+ cats to live over 20 years. Diamond is an exceptionally affectionate cat and will drape himself across your lap if you give him the opportunity to do so - he will be a great companion for a very lucky person!
