Orange you glad you clicked on Ham?
Ham is a chill, self- assured, treat loving, headbutting boy who loves nothing more than a full belly and a nap near his people. He was found alone and wandering in the woods so that may explain his appreciation for the simple things in life, like a warm bed and a regular meal.
While he is primarily calm, he can get the zoomies from time to time and enjoys playing with wand toys and mice that don’t squeak. He doesn’t seem to mind dogs, but he would like to be your one and only feline so he can soak up all your love.
Due to his laid-back nature, Ham would prefer a quiet home where he can lounge the days away near you. When you come home, he will meet you with at the door with a big stretch. He isn’t always a cuddly boy, but he really enjoys being near his family and shows affection by rubbing his forehead on his foster’s knees (aka headbutting!) all while purring up a storm.
Ham has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. FIV is a virus that can cause a weakened immune system, but most FIV+ cats live normal lives with no difference in lifespan compared to other cats. FIV is spread only through deep bite wounds or mating, so there’s minimal risk to other cats in the home, especially since all DPA cats are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. We recommend slow introductions when bringing home any new pet and can provide resources and guidance for a peaceful transition. Regular vet visits to detect illnesses early are important for FIV+ cats, but many FIV+ cats will live long, healthy lives with little or no symptoms.
