Ferdinand is a lovely, outgoing big guy who at just 1yr old is quite the survivor. In November 2024 Ferdinand was diagnosed with FIP and immediately began treatment. After 3mos of treatment and then 3mos of observation Ferdinand was cleared! Unfortunately due to his time on the streets Ferdinand did become FIV+. Ferdinand is now a happy healthy boy. Ferdinand is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready for his furever home!
This kitty has tested positive for FIV, similar to HIV in people. It can not be transmitted through casual contact, sharing food, water, or a litter box. It can not be transmitted to people or other pet species. It is typically only transmitted to other cats via a deep bite wound. FIV positive cats can live long and healthy lives! They do tend to have more dental issues and absolutely must be kept safely indoors at all times.
