He is happily living in a permanent foster home with another FIV+ cat, SWEETIE. Although SHADOW is a FIV+ kitty, that won't stop him from living a long, healthy life as an indoor only cat without any medication.  AGE:  born approx.  8/5/15  MICROCHIP #:  -1060   DATE OF STERILIZATION:  8/10/19  VAX RECORD:  FVRCP expires: 5/19/23; Rabies expires: 5/19/21   FELV/FIV test:  8/5/19 FIV+  [Santa Fe Animal Svcs.
