Nigel

If interested in adopting, start at CatsCT.org to submit an application.<br/><br/>Nigel is a handsome young adult about 2 who loves to be petted, have attention and spend time with people. He gets along with other cats and would be a great companion for an adult or senior cat in your home or just for you! Nigel came to us as a stray and was in a foster home for several months.<br/><br/>He has tested positive for FIV, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, similar to HIV. Just like with people this is NOT contagious through casual contact. It's safe to share food, water, and a litter box with a negative cat. FIV is only passed by a mating, or a deep bite wound, where saliva from the positive cat enters the blood stream of another kitty. This is very rare in socialized house cats. <br/><br/>FIV cats may have a shorter life span in part due to the fact that with a compromised immune system they are more prone to contracting infections. FIV positive cats must live strictly indoors to reduce the chances of contracting something dangerous. <br/><br/>It is NOT a death sentence! FIV positive cats can live well into their teens and have a very normal life.
