Jonesy [Permanent Foster]

HISTORY: This handsome cat was picked up by Animal Control in Los Lunas and found to be FIV+ (see ADDITIONAL INFORMATION below). Since time was running out for JONESY at the shelter, a rescue partner contacted F&F to give him a second chance. TEMPERAMENT: JONESY is very social and loves attention. He is loves to give head butts in return for pampering and petting. JONESY spent three years with a foster family as a member of our "Permanent Foster" program, but returned to F&F when they moved away. As a result, JONESY is now looking for a new "Permanent Foster" family who will give him a stable long-term home, while having his on-going medical needs looked after by F&F. His eyes bother him periodically, but he is feeling much better after adjusting his medication. He is a gentle sweet boy who would be happy as a solo kitty or sharing a home with other gentle cats. AGE: born approx. 6/4/19 MICROCHIP #: 981020041515699 DATE OF STERILIZATION: 6/17/20 VAX RECORD: FVRCP expires: 2/6/25; Rabies expires: 4/15/25 FELV/FIV test: 7/6/20; FIV+ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: As is typical with many FIV+ cats, JONESY 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.
