About Manny - Located in Eltham
Manny has a beautiful nature, a love of laps and a complete willingness to offer himself up for endless cuddles. In between love cuddles, pats and scratches under the chin, he is very content to sleep next to a window or have a play with one of his toys. He especially likes chasing a feather wand. He is very clean and a good eater. Manny would suit any family situation and living situation (apartment, house etc.). He would be happy with another friendly cat or as an only cat. He will need to live the rest of his life indoors. Manny came from a rough background on the streets and has FIV (see below for information). Yet, he is still the most affectionate cat you will ever meet, is a fun character and is great company.

Manny has had a skin tag surgically removed from his lower eyelid, there is no further treatment needed for this.
FIV+ cats live a normal life for many years and we cannot predict the life span of these cats. FIV positive cats sometimes have a scruffy coat and the condition can lead to chronic recurrent infections in the mouth, eye and skin. FIV cannot infect people, however it can infect other cats through bite wounds commonly from fights. FIV positive cats can co-exist with other cats that don't have FIV without issues.
We encourage that the cat is either an indoor cat or a confined cat - eg access to a cat run outdoors. We recommend regular vet visits (6 monthly) to monitor weight, coat changes, mouth etc.
