Meet Tyson
HISTORY: TYSON was rescued from Las Vegas as an intact injured stray. Upon arrival at F&F, he was found to be FIV positive (see ADDITIONAL INFORMATION below). TEMPERAMENT: In addition to neuter surgery, TYSON had 10 teeth extracted during his first vet visit. He is currently recovering in a foster home. While he looks like a tough guy, TYSON has shown himself to be a big marshmallow. His foster mom reports that he is loving and sweet, enjoying pets, belly rubs, and head scratches. While Tyson is shy, he loves to sleep on the bed. He is not yet comfortable with lap time and can hiss if startled, but given time in a quiet new home, he can become a total love bug. Tyson would prefer a quiet home where he is the only cat. AGE: born approx. 2/15/22 MICROCHIP #: 981020053333389 DATE OF STERILIZATION: 2/20/24 VAX RECORD: FVRCP #1: 3/28/2024, FVRCP #2: 4/15/24, FVRCP expires: 4/15/25; Rabies expires: 4/15/25 FELV/FIV test: 2/20/24 FIV+ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: As is typical with many FIV+ cats, TYSON is expected to live a normal lifespan. While conventional thinking is to only place an FIV+ cat in a home with no other cats or with another FIV+ cat, there are many “mixed households.” According to Cornell University, the primary mode of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) transmission is through repeated fights resulting in the exchange of blood, and it poses no threat to humans or other species. If you would like more information on FIV, educational materials can be requested by emailing [email protected].
