Piper Siamese Collierville, TN

Piper is a very handsome, 7 year old, flame point Siamese. He is a big guy at 16 lbs., but he is ALL love! He is one of the most affectionate cats we have had recently!
He is FRONT DECLAWED and would need to be an inside cat. He was adopted from our shelter as a kitten and spent the last 7 years with the family. However, they adopted a puppy and Piper did not adjust well to his new housemate. So the decision was made to front declaw him. Unfortunately, that only prevented him from protecting himself and so he was then made an indoor/outdoor cat. During this time he was exposed to FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) He will need to be in a HOME WITH NO OTHER CATS (unless they are also FIV +) as FIV can be passed to other cats.

“Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a virus that's found in domestic cats that attacks the immune system. FIV leads to increased susceptibility to infections and other disease.

The risk of transmission between friendly household cats that stay indoors is low. But it can be spread through biting, so FIV- positive cats should be kept indoors where they cannot infect others. Cats that don't have FIV can stay protected if you keep them inside as well.
Although the risk of transmission through social/friendly contact is low, it is not impossible. Ideally, infected cats should be kept separate from uninfected cats to
eliminate the risk of transmission.
If this is not possible, remember that transmission is less likely between cats in a stable household (the cats do not fight, there's no introduction of a new cat, etc.)”

More information on FIV can be found here.
