About Boreas
Boreas (who likes to be called BeeBop) is super handsome and poised, but has spent most of his life on the streets.
Because of this, he is wary of humans until he knows he can trust you. Then he becomes a massive purr factory and will follow you around and communicates in a series of contented grunts. He loves pats and will purr and purr and purr.
He loves to have boxes to sit in and loves to stare out the window and growl at neighbours and anyone else he thinks is too close to the house (but never growls at his humans in the house or visitors).
He had a lot of dental problems and as a result had all of his teeth removed recently so Boreas may need a soft food diet.
BeeBop will need to to be an inside-only cat; 1 - due to his white fur and fair features and 2 - he is FiV+ (please see further information under medical notes).
He's indifferent to living with other cats in the house, it seems like he thinks he is better than them. He behaves like he is the King of the house.
He needs a human who will give him lots of pats and give him nice comfy places to sleep.
Boreas is located in Jacana.
Medical notes
Boreas is in good health.
He did have severe dental disease which has resulted in him having all his teeth removed. Boreas will require a soft food diet for life.
Boreas has tested FiV+. Feel free to ask questions regarding Boreas' health. In the meantime, please see further information below regarding FiV+.
> What Is FIV in Cats (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus)?
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a virus that’s found in domestic cats that attacks the immune system. FIV leads to increased susceptibility to infections and other disease.
> Hou can help keep your FIV-positive cat healthy by:
Using routine parasite control
Feeding a complete and balanced diet
Visiting the veterinarian every six months for routine exams and bloodwork
> What's the Life Expectancy for Cats With FIV?
Cats with FIV can have a normal lifespan with excellent quality of life; however, because they are more susceptible to disease, severe illness can lead to a worse prognosis.
> How Do Cats Get FIV?
The most common way that FIV spreads among cats is through biting.
The saliva of an FIV-positive cat contains the virus, so it can spread to another cat through a bite wound.
The most frequently infected cats are typically aggressive male cats that are allowed to freely roam.
> Is FIV Contagious to Other Cats?
The risk of transmission between friendly household cats that stay indoors is low.
But it can be spread through biting, so FIV-positive cats should be kept indoors where they cannot infect others. Cats that don’t have FIV can stay protected if you keep them inside as well.
Although the risk of transmission through social/friendly contact is low, it is not impossible. Ideally, infected cats should be kept separate from uninfected cats to eliminate the risk of transmission.
If this is not possible, remember that transmission is less likely between cats in a stable household (the cats do not fight, there’s no introduction of a new cat, etc.).
