Barnaby's Story

Barnaby is a very handsome tabby boy. He was found outside by a nice lady who took him in and contacted our rescue for help. He was too sweet to be living outside. <br/><br/>Barnaby is a friendly guy who adjusts quickly to new things. He enjoys being petted and tolerates being held. Barnaby is a talker at times to tell you about his day. <br/><br/>He is intimidated around the number of cats in his foster home, but will be fine with one or two other friendly cats or as an only cat. <br/> <br/>Barnaby has tested positive for FIV. This is not Feline Leukemia, which he tested negative for. Because he has a very friendly disposition and is easy to get along with, Barnaby does not have to be an only cat. FIV is transmitted by deep bite wounds from an infected cat and is prevalent among intact male cats who are fighting for territory and mates. FIV has an unfair stigma even within the vet & cat rescue community, but the majority of FIV+ cats live long, healthy lives. We have many current resources on FIV which we'd be happy to refer you to along with many personal experiences with FIV+ cats. We are hopeful that someone will have an open mind (or is already well informed about FIV!) and come to meet Barnaby. He won't let you down! <br/><br/>Barnaby is about 1.5 years old( as of 5/15/25), neutered, up to date on vaccinations, negative for Felv but he is positive for FIV. Don't let that scare you though, he can live a normal long life.<br/><br/>To meet handsome Barnaby, please send an email to Lori at apcatrescue@gmail.com.
