My story

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

Ricky is an adorable flame point siamese cat - he has a gorgeous cream colored coat with light orange tabby markings and crystal blue eyes. He's such a beauty, but his quirky personality is what really makes him special. Ricky spends a lot of his time chirping and loves to meow when he wants attention (typical siamese!). He really enjoys head scratches and rolling around on his back. Don't touch the tummy though, that's a trap! And Ricky's absolute favorite thing is play! He loves do zoomies through the house and jump on his cat tree, but he's really uncoordinated so it's pretty entertaining to watch (sorry Ricky)!

Ricky would do okay by himself, in a home another playful kitty, or even with senior cats. He doesn't seem to mesh well with dominant males - he's the kind of kitty they like to pick on.

Ricky can be shy at first, but is extremely loving once he lets his guard down. Poor Ricky had a rough start to life, so it's no wonder he's slow to trust! He was found outside, crying at the back door of one of our foster's homes. We believe he was abandoned by a neighbor. He will need a little patience as you build his trust, but the payoff is worth it. Ricky does not really like to be held, but he does love to be near you and will follow you around the house. His foster family says that watching his transformation from shy scaredy cat to joyful and playful confident cat has been one of the most rewarding fostering experiences of their life.

Ricky is FIV Positive. The feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a retrovirus like the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Like HIV, FIV kills infection-fighting T-cells and weakens the immune system.

FIV-positive cats have been known to live 20 years or more with no symptoms of any severe disease. The only thing they might need that is different from other cats is prompt vet attention whenever they get sick.
