Male Cat, Domestic Short Hair
Domestic Short Hair (Short Coat)
Description:
Nolan is an adult, neutered male cat probably born in 2020. He is a lovely solid gray cat with a subtly striped tail tip. You have to look close, but it's there - and it's adorable. Nolan did not enjoy being confined in quarantine, but now that he has a whole room to roam in, he's done a 180 - he's super friendly, rubs legs, begs for pets and will hop up on ledges on command. (If he wants to...after all, he's a cat...). He gets lonely and will cry softly for attention when he knows we are outside his room. He's definitely a door greeter and is overjoyed when people can spend time with him. Nolan has tested positive for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), a chronic viral infection that compromises the immune system. Technically contagious, FIV is hard to spread unless cats are actively fighting, mating, or the other cat is immune compromised already. The main take-away is that FIV cats may not be able to fight off other illnesses as effectively as a non-FIV cat, so adopters need to be vigilant and willing to seek medical care quickly, rather than taking a "wait and see" approach.
