Fiddlesticks

Fiddlesticks<br/>Male brown tabby DSH <br/>Approximately 5 years old<br/><br/>Fiddlesticks was found abandoned in a mobile home park after his owners had moved out a few weeks prior. This boy CRAVES attention and is very food motivated. He is super vocal and wants to be around you at all times. He does not get along with other cats or dogs.<br/><br/>Medical: Fiddlesticks is FIV positive. Because of this, he needs a low stress environment, quality food, exams at least yearly and proactive veterinary care to ensure he stays healthy. Because he has a compromised immune system, he's not the type of cat that you try the "wait it out" approach if he's sick. Although FIV cats can be more prone to certain medical diseases, they more often than not live completely normal lives compared to their counterparts. As medicine has advanced, we now know that having FIV is not at all a death sentence like it had been treated as previously. These cats live comparable lives to non FIV positive cats and deserve a home and love all the same. We highly recommend finding a veterinarian who is comfortable with and knowledgeable about FIV. Depending on their clients, FIV may not be something that every veterinarian sees regularly in their practice, so it can be daunting and they may not be familiar with the most recent guidelines for FIV cats and how they can live normal and healthy lives.<br/><br/>You can learn more about FIV through the American Association of Feline Practitioners' Feline Retrovirus Management Guidelines or from the Feline Veterinary Medicine Association's website and brochures such as this one! https://catvets.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/FelineVMA_FeLV-and-FIV-Broch_Web.2.pdf<br/><br/>All cats are spayed/neutered, current on age appropriate vaccines (rabies and distemper), microchipped, given flea/tick prevention and dewormer, FIV/FeLV tested, and any other veterinary care that is needed prior to adoption.<br/><br/>Location: in foster<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, fill out an application online at www.figandfriendspetrescue.org/adopt
