My story

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

Oskar is a sweet and happy boy! His chubby cheeks and gentle personality will melt your heart. You will not regret setting up a meeting to get to know this wonderful kitty. 

Adopting an FIV+ Cat: What to Expect

Bringing an FIV+ cat into your home can be incredibly rewarding. Here's what you can generally expect:

  • A Long and Happy Life: Many FIV+ cats live long, healthy lives with proper care.
  • Regular Vet Care: Regular checkups are essential to monitor their health and address any potential complications early on.
  • Potential for Secondary Infections: FIV weakens the immune system, making them more susceptible to other infections.
  • Lifestyle Adjustments:
    • Indoor-Only Lifestyle: Keeping them indoors protects them from other cats and potential injuries.
    • Low-Stress Environment: A calm and relaxed home is crucial for their well-being.
    • Potential for Separation from Other Cats: While not always necessary, it's often recommended to keep FIV+ cats separate from other cats to prevent potential virus transmission.
  • Excited to find your new family member at Wags and Whiskers? Our pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered. Many come from unknown backgrounds, so please consider the 10+ year commitment.
