My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! My name is Picatso. I am an artist of course, named after the esteemed Picasso. While that guy dabbled in paint and sculptures, I like to show my emotions, my artistic expression through...snuggles. I purr and lean, head-butt and hug, cuddle and snuggle. You might say that my personality is a work of art. Come meet me and find out just how purr-fect I really am!

- initial feline distemper combination vaccination
- first deworming or stool check
- rabies vaccination (for animals over 3 months of age)
- 24 Petwatch microchipping

Picatso was recently diagnosed with FIV, read below to learn more:

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) FAQ

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is an infectious disease of domestic cats. If you are thinking of adopting an FIV positive cat, you may worry that the cat will become sick soon, and this will mean high veterinary costs and heartache. You may also worry about the risk to your own cat. Here are answers to some common questions:

Will I be adopting a sick cat?
Most of our FIV cats are clinically healthy. FIV is a “slow” virus and can take years before it causes any problems. New research shows that some cats never have clinical signs from FIV.

Will my new cat make my other pets sick?
FIV can only affect cats, so other animals (and people) are not at risk. Recent studies have shown that FIV+ cats do not have to be isolated in a stable household, as the virus does not spread easily. The important exception is if the cats fight because FIV is spread through deep bite wounds.

When will this cat get sick and what might happen?
FIV gradually weakens the immune system, and may eventually result in infections and diseases that don’t affect normal healthy cats. We can’t predict when an individual cat will get sick, but typically they remain healthy for years after infection. Studies have shown that the average FIV+ cat lives just as long as any other cat.

Is there anything I can do to protect my new cat from getting sick?
It’s important to take reasonable measures to keep the cat healthy and infection free.
-Keep the cat strictly indoors
-No raw foods
-Regular vaccination
-Good parasite control
-Regular veterinary check-ups

What if my cat gets sick and I cannot afford the treatments my veterinarian recommends?
