RIVER

river.jpg
I'm a handsome, 4 year old, short-haired "cowcat". I was living on the streets, chowing down with a group of scaredy cats when a lady brought me to a shelter because I'm a nice guy. They gave me 'the operation' (you know the one), and while there, I tested positive for FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus). Now, I'M not worried about my FIV+ status - I plan on living a long and healthy life - but sometimes people are afraid of what they don't understand. So I was at the shelter for a LONG time and boy, was I sad. Then, HOORAY, a nice man adopted me and I was SURE I had my forever home, until my new friend lost his home.

I'm in a foster home for now, and I'm OK, but would I love one more chance to be loved by my own family!

If you were to fall in love with my easy going, gentle and hug-able personality, you wouldn't have to worry about my FIV+ status either.

To learn the truth about FIV, read here - www.bestfriends.org/theanimals/petcare/cats_fiv.cfm - it's called "Catching a Bad Case of Rumors", and it's called that for good reason!

So you see, there are endless possibilities for me. I can live as an only cat because I love people. I can share a family with a kind and gentle dog. And yes, I can live with another cat, even one who is negative for FIV, as long as he "plays well with others", same as me!
