Health
Vaccinations up to date, spayed / neutered, special needs. Captain tested positive for the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Many cats with FIV live full lives into their teens without extraordinary vet expenses. This virus is not a death sentence. If Captain were to bite another cat, he could infect that cat with the virus. He is a very gentle guy, but even play biting could potentially transmit the disease. Captain would be a great companion as an only cat or as a friend for another FIV+ cat.

Meet Captain

Captain was living on the street and eating at a convenience store. He used to have a family but they moved away and left him behind. We were happy to help because he is a Sweetheart. Captain likes other cats, but he is looking for a one-cat family to call his own. While he was living outside, he contracted the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). This virus cannot be passed on to humans and can only be transmitted to other cats through biting, but he should probably be an only cat.

With proper nutrition and care, cats with FIV can live into their teens. Captain is strong and symptom-free despite living out in the cold, but his condition could shorten his life. We don’t know how many years he has left, but he may very well a long, normal life. This gentle guy deserves the love of a special person who will get him out of his cage and give him his very own home.

Captain is about two years old. He is neutered and vaccinated against rabies. He is super affectionate and very ready to have his own family to love. He would be a great companion for a busy family. He doesn’t ask to be held or to sit on your lap, but he will curl up next to you on the couch and you can scratch his back for hours.

Captain is currently on vacation from Pet Valu, 1354 Centennial Ave, Piscataway, NJ. He will be back there soon if you would like to visit him.
