Hello there human, you can call me Glen. I am a very timid guy who is looking for a furever home to show me the unconditional love I deserve. I am fairly skittish around new people and will need a slow approach if you want to get to know me. I like to spend most of my time lounging around in my cardboard box, tucked away from all the commotion at the shelter. I'm hoping that my new place will have far less foot traffic and a much quieter space for me to nap the days away in. After i've gotten comfortable with you I enjoy being pet on the top of my head and especially adore having my chin/cheeks scratched for me. When I am unsure about something I like to give a little growl just incase my fears are right. I am slowly learning that most humans mean no harm and I am looking forward to carrying on my journey with you! I am a special paws adoption, which means I do have medical needs that need tending to. I am FIV +, but because of this, my adoption fee is totally up to you!
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!
