Alfred - FIV+'s Story

Meet Alfred — your future orange shadow, professional cuddle consultant, and full-time participant in whatever you’re doing.<br/><br/>Brushing your teeth? Alfred’s there. Taking a nap? Alfred’s already on it. Lounging on the couch or watching birds and construction from the window? Obviously a group activity. Alfred believes life is better when done together, whether that's supervising your daily routine or birdwatching along side the other cats in his foster home.<br/><br/>Alfred is also an elite-level cuddler. His preferred move is the classic plop-down-and-chill, where he settles next to you and relaxes into full cuddle mode. And if he falls asleep? Expect his adorably happy loud snores to make an appearance.<br/><br/>Alfred is friendly, affectionate, curious, and happiest when he’s part of the moment, especially if that moment involves snacks, snuggles, or a good window view.<br/><br/>Alfred's adorable curled ears are likely a result of untreated ear infection when younger - he does not have any hearing issues.<br/><br/>The FIV virus is not a reason not to adopt! It is not transmissible to people or to non-cat<br/><br/>species and is not a death sentence.<br/><br/>It simply reduces a cat's immune system as the cat<br/><br/>ages, which can leave the cat more vulnerable to other feline infections later in life.<br/><br/>Cat to cat transmission does not occur with casual contact and it is not airborne.<br/><br/>Cats who are FIV+ live long, happy lives! Please check out the below informational links about FIV to understand why it is not a reason to shy away from adopting:<br/><br/>https://www.fivcats.com/FIV/fiv_introduction.html<br/><br/>https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv

The FIV virus is not a reason not to adopt! It is not transmissible to people or to non-cat

species and is not a death sentence.

It simply reduces a cat's immune system as the cat

ages, which can leave the cat more vulnerable to other feline infections later in life.

Cat to cat transmission does not occur with casual contact and it is not airborne.
