FIV
CATS: more info in this PDF - click to

FIV positive cats often lead long, healthy lives.
FIV is a virus that affects only cats. The
initials stand for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.
This basically means that
the effect of the virus is to reduce the cat's immune system,
making it more susceptible to infection - put simply, it
can't fight off infection as well as a non-FIV cat.
In itself, FIV is not serious,
it is the other infections that the cat may pick up, which
can cause the problem in
a FIV cat, due to the weakness in the immune system.
It
is important to realize that even with a positive
test for FIV,
a cat can lead a reasonably normal life span.

Bouncer was living outdoors for more than a year, getting
into fights
with other males for territory and females. The normal life
of an outdoor cat. Because of this he, too, is FIV positive.
He's a large brown tabby who is actually a sweet, mellow,
affectionate guy now that he does not have to fight anymore.
He and Brownie get along fine.
Both Brownie and Bouncer have been vaccinated and sterilized.
They are both young cats with many years ahead of them. They
just need a good home & they will return your love many time
over.
