Hi my name is Shaman. I have lived with my foster carer for almost 10 months. When I was first rescued off the streets I was so scared of people because I always felt I couldn't protect myself. You see I have this one paw which is a little damaged although causes me no pain or discomfort or long term health issues. I have zero teeth and only three claws. So this made me feel very vulnerable.
I am still learning to trust but my paw doesn't stop me chasing toys or jumping on my human's bed. My best game is chasing ribbons and ping pong balls.
I simply love a cuddle at meals times and I will purr and rub my head into your check for comfort. Apart from my love of food, I do like relax by a window with plenty of sunlight and sunbake all day. I feel more confident when there are other friendly cats around.
Because I am still quite shy, I do need a special person who can be very patient and provide me with a peaceful environment as I still get scared around sudden noise. I know with time I will continue to learn to love and trust. I would be very happy to meet you and if you visit me at meal times, you will see me at my best.
Want to meet me in person? Then please complete the online application form I can't wait to say hi!

Medical notes
Shaman has tested positive for FIV but has no symptoms.
Studies have found that FIV+ cats often outlive their FIV- friends.
http://www.catchat.org/fiv.html "A ten-year FIV Monitoring Project was carried out at Glasgow Veterinary School involving 26 cats and the results indicated that a higher percentage of FIV negative cats died during the period of the study than FIV positive cats, and that FIV infection did not affect the cats' life expectancy.
You can also find more information here: http://fivcats.com/FIV/fiv_mixed_households.html
Dr Diane D. Addie (Lecturer in Veterinary Virology, University of Glasgow) said "at least 3 studies in FIV positive cats have shown a life span equal to uninfected cats."
A fourteen year study by Maureen Hutchison B.Sc, BVMS, MRCVS (veterinary adviser to the Cat Action Trust) found that FIV-positive cats are more likely to die by being killed in road accidents or to be alive and well into their twilight years than they are to die from any FIV related condition."

The adoption fee includes de-sexing, micro-chip, current vaccination, flea and worm treatment while in care.
No other known health issues.
