Yogi

Yogi is an absolute smooch! He loves everyone he meets and demands a chin scratch by meowing at you until it happens!

Yogi is very laid back and would suit basically any family. He could share his life with another feline friend.

Yogi is FIV positive this means he is looking for a indoor only home as a only cat or a fellow feline friend who has had FIV vaccinations.

A bit about FIV.

A cat diagnosed with FIV can live a normal happy life and can have a normal cat lifespan!

What is FIV?
Also known as cat AIDS, feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is an infectious disease caused by a retrovirus belonging to the lentivirus family. It is in the same family as the feline leukemia virus (FeLV).

How is it spread?
The virus is present in large quantities in the cat's saliva, and the most common mode of transmission is via bite wounds.
Occasionally FIV is passed onto kittens who's mother is FIV positive. This may happen either in utero or via infected milk.
Cats don't become infected via mutual grooming!

How is FIV treated?
There is no cure for FIV, once a cat has it, it is for life. The goal is to provide supportive care to the infected cat. This may include:
• Regular veterinary check ups.
• Maintaining proper parasite control.
• Ensuring that prompt veterinary attention is sought at the first sign of illness.
• Feed a high quality diet.
• Limiting their exposure to disease by keeping them indoors and away from neighbourhood or stray cats.
• The use of anti bacterial and anti fungal drugs where recommended.
• Maintain a proper vaccination regime to protect your cat from other infectious diseases.
