Sam is guessed to be between 6-8 years old and is a sweet sweet loving boy.
He adores pets and all human affection. Often found sitting by the window or screen door watching the critters and other activity outside. He is a wonderful cat companion. Sam loves anything cat nip and is food motivated and so easy to please.
Rescued from the outdoors, we don't know if he used to be a family pet. He has an old injury to his left eye, leaving scar tissue over his tear duct. It has an occasional discharge but this is very easy to manage.
Sam is neutered and up to date on his vaccines. He is positive for FiV.
a note about FIV+ CATS
From time to time we host cats that have tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), which causes a weakening of a cat’s immune system. Most cats that have FIV live a long, normal lives, both in quality and longevity. They just need to be monitored for infections and dental issues.
The virus is not contagious except through deep bite wounds, blood, or inherited from their mother. FIV+ cats can live in multi-cat household without resident cats contracting the virus. As their immune system can be sensitive, their health (infections and dental issues) should be monitored a little more closely than most non-FIV cats.
We are following policies set by national animal rescue organizations and accredited veterinary medicine universities. For more information, refer to the UC Davis FIV page and the Best Friends FIV page.
