Hello, I`m Tessa. Life in the shelter can be a bit overwhelming for a shy soul like me. I`m more of a quiet corner dweller, observing the world from a safe distance. I`m not the first to come forward for a pat, but that doesn`t mean I don`t crave affection. I just need a bit more time to trust. It`s hard to show my true colors here, but I promise, I have so much love to give. I just need a patient and understanding human to help me feel secure. Adopting me means giving a shy cat a chance to blossom in a loving home. As you may notice i`m considered a special paws adoption and this is because I am FIV positive. This also means my adoption fee is up to you! Come meet me at Yay for Strays Cafe starting Novemeber 21st!
Some additional information about FIV for any interested adopters:
An IDEXX FIV/FeLV test was performed in shelter using whole blood, and a positive FIV test result was noted. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) compromises the immune system, so routine preventive healthcare is important. Cats with FIV commonly live normal life spans so long as they do not have other pre-existing conditions, and any medical concerns are promptly addressed with a veterinarian. The primary mode of transmission for FIV is through bite wounds. As a result, cats in households with stable social structures where housemates do not fight are at little risk of acquiring FIV infections. FIV it is a species-specific virus that infects only felines, with no evidence it can infect or cause disease in humans. Rarely false positive tests can occur, particularly if an animal has been vaccinated against FIV. It is recommended that you follow up with your primary care veterinarian to establish a preventive healthcare plan post adoption!
