Dagwood - Domestic Short Hair Cat

Shelter: BC SPCA - Nanaimo & District Branch Animal ID: 511982 Birthdate: June 14, 2016 - Adult Spayed/Neutered: Yes Male Meet Dagwood! This affectionate guy is hoping to find a home that is searching for a cat with personality to spare and he is sure to keep you laughing with his comical character. This happy feline will need an indoor only home as the only cat in his castle. Do you have space in you heart for this lovable boy? Dagwood is a special guy with some special needs as he has been diagnosed with FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). FIV is a disease of cats, commonly transmitted through bites, that is similar to human HIV. There is no cure for FIV, but many cats with FIV achieve normal lifespans and do not require any daily medications. To keep Dagwood a happy & healthy cat he should: Visit a veterinarian for a check-up twice a year and be kept current on any preventive care recommended (including vaccines, parasite control, and labwork). Because cats with FIV may have suppressed immune systems, they are not recommended for people with compromised immune systems. ***We've made changes to our adoption process. To adopt: 1.
