Louie, aka Dreamsicle aka Creamsicle

This big (he's 13 pounds and that's while being a stray!) gorgeous orange boy started out being called Creamsicle for his orange and white coloring. But the vet's office mistakenly called him "Dreamsicle" when they heard his name and, while he is a dream, we think Louie is now the perfect name for such a regal, dreamy boy.<br/><br/>Louie is very sweet. He was dumped outside and happily followed and trotted into the lady's greenhouse who had been feeding him. And now he is settled in for good. He does not want to go back out into the snow and cold. He wants an inside only forever home. He has been around other cats in the colony the lady cares for and is just a gentle giant who is a bit afraid of the resident in charge female cat. <br/><br/>Louie is about 4 years old. He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, treated preventatively for fleas/ticks, dewormed, and tested negative for feline leukemia.<br/><br/>Louie came to his good sam with a large abscess on his neck which we think was from a cat fight that probably caused Louie to be infected with the feline immunodeficiency virus or FIV. For this reason he also needs an inside only home. <br/><br/>Louie is positive for FIV, but cats with this virus can live very long and healthy lives. FIV positive cats can live with non-FIV positive cats as the virus is only spread through very deep bites as occurs with fighting males or in utero from a mother cat to babies. FIV positive cats just need to be kept inside and given regular vet care to have happy, healthy lives. <br/><br/>For more information on FIV: https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv<br/><br/>and: https://www.fivcats.com/FIV/fiv_mixed_households.html<br/><br/>For more information or to request and adoption application, please email Black and Orange Cat Foundation at bandocats@gmail.com
