Meet Jonah 💙

This boy is not only adorable and super affectionate but a funny goofball 😂 he loves belly rubs and is such a calm, happy kitty .

( Music video posted in comments section 👇)

He is FIV+

🔹FIV stands for “Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.”
🔹 FIV is most often transmitted through a bite from an infected cat, Therefore, cats who test positive for FIV CAN live with FIV-negative cats with minimal risk of transmission as long as they do not fight to the point of biting.
🔹 Can humans, dogs, or other species catch FIV?
No, FIV only affects cats.
🔹Caring for FIV cats
For a healthy cat diagnosed with FIV, the most important management goals are to reduce their risk of acquiring secondary infections and prevent the spread of FIV to other cats. Both of these goals are best met by keeping the cat indoor

If you would like to inquire or meet him please contact the shelter.
