Story
Thurston is a special kitty. He has suffered more than any cat should by only 2 years old, and after clearly having had a home with people because he was instantly friendly! He loves to meet and greet new people! And yet he was found living outside in the cold and cruel winter, dirty and flea ridden. He had been in a cat fight at some point and sadly contracted FIV, which may have contributed to him also having broken and dead teeth which caused an infection in his mouth, and something called Pillow foot that made his paw pads swell, crack, and peel painfully. But he found food at a rescuers back porch and everything was going to be alright!
After his foster got him inside and cleaned up, all his issues were addressed. He had teeth extracted, and treatment for his paws, and now he is perfectly healthy, sleek, and beautiful!
Thurston has his own unique personality. If you have a good sense of humor, he will make you laugh constantly at his silly, moody ways! He loves to climb, he likes to go into the refrigerator, he LOVES food, he communicates and talks, and he loves to be warm. He likes cat beds and windows, catnip, chew toys, and chaser toys. He can get along with other cats, and should be in a home with another pet (cat or maybe dog) because he gets lonely. Maybe because of the pain and abandonment he has felt, he seems to not like being alone. Though sometimes he does not want to be bothered, but wants someone nearby. A heated bed helps, too! He needs a lot of appropriate things to scratch and chew. He loves silvervine sticks, but ribbon toys should be put away because he chews on those.

This cat is FIV+. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is specific to cats and cannot be transmitted to humans or other species. Casual contact between an FIV+ cat and a non-infected cat does not spread FIV. Therefore, cats in households with stable social structures, where housemates do not fight, can be housed together. FIV+ cats can live long, healthy lives with proper care, such as being monitored by annual vet visits. FIV+ cats are just like other cats. They all have unique personalities and traits and will provide you with years of love, companionship, and laughter.
