My shelter took in a cat from a man who found it as a stray. He drove over an hour to get the cat to us, then made a huge donation so that we can find this cat a great home. Turns out the cat is FIV+ and we euthanize those cats. I know that is terrible, I know that FIV+ and FIV- cats can live together, as does the clinic here. But that is our policy and nothing can be done about changing that. This thread is not about the issue of FIV, its it finding this cat a place to go. We usually don't bend over backwards for people but since he made a ridiculously huge donation we are trying to do what we can.
So basically, I was wondering if anyone knows of a resource or someone who can temporarily even take a FIV+ cat (they CAN live with FIV- cats!) who is neutered and fully vaccinated either perminently or until other arrangements are made. This cat is very sweet and people friendly. He is a couple years old, orange and white tabby, missing a lot of teeth, and just came off of the streets so he is a little dirty and whatnot.
If anyone can help please PM me. Thanks so much! this cat goes up for euthanasia committee today, so after that he can be put down at any time so any and all help is appreciated.
I don't have my own place to live at the moment otherwise I would take him myself.
Thanks!
