Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Yes, we know Simba's pics are not great but, you see, it is difficult to get decent pics of a lover who doesn't stay still. Simba is so busy rubbing against you for love and affection that he forgets to sit still and pose. But, take it from us, Simba has the most GORGEOUS eyes and silky luxurious fur. He is truly a dreamboat.
Simba was passed around from home to home until he was ultimately given to someone who surrendered him. Here Kitty Kitty, Inc immediately stepped up and took this gorgeous boy into our rescue.
Simba is a big bag of love and affection. A total lap cat. He will head butt you and rub on you for love and affection. He has an amazing purr to show his appreciation.
7 year old Simba will bring years or fun and joy to whomever is lucky enough to be Simba's new family.
Simba is fixed, vaccinated and had a recent vet check. He is ready to go home today. Don't miss this opportunity to add this wonderful boy to your home.
Simba is FIV positive which in no way means he should not have a loving home.
Research has shown that FIV-positive cats are in fact very adoptable, and can live the same lifespan as an FIV-negative cat. This research has also debunked the myth that FIV- positive cats cannot safely live with non- infected cats.
One of the most damaging myths about FIV-positive cats is that saliva can transfer the virus and therefore sharing the same water bowls, food bowls, and licking each other can cause the virus to pass from cat to cat. However, the virus stays deep inside the cat’s mouth gums, so in fact, “FIV is mainly passed from cat to cat through deep bite wounds, the kind that usually occurs outdoors during aggressive fights and territorial disputes,” according to the ASPCA. The virus is very fragile, and does not live for long once outside the body. It is destroyed by drying, light, heat, and basic detergents.
FIV-positive cats can live long fulfilling lives. 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.
