Here is 10 month old Princess, she is friends with Baby another one of our rescue cats. She loves to play and lay on laps. She is not real found of being picked up or held. She is great with other cats and does come when you call her. She had the herpes virus when she was about a month old. She has been treated and my vet says it is in remission but it is possible that the move to a new home may cause stress and it may reactivate. The new owner would need to be aware. It affected her sinuses, so she sometimes wheezes and she has a very raspy meow. I just took her in yesterday to make sure she is healthy and my vet gave her the OK.
This virus does not transfer to humans or dogs, but will transfer to other cats when active.
