About Ari *9 Lives Project Rescue*
Meet Ari, an affectionate and sociable cat who loves to snuggle up with people! He is a true lap cat, and he can’t get enough of cuddles and kisses. Ari loves being around humans and will always be the first one to greet you when you come home. He’s also playful, and especially enjoys chasing after dangly toys. All in all, Ari would make a wonderful addition to any loving home!
Medical notes
FIV+: Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a viral infection that affects cats. It is important to note that FIV is not a big deal and should not deter potential cat owners from considering adopting a cat with this condition. Here's a brief explanation of FIV to alleviate any concerns:
FIV is primarily transmitted through deep bite wounds during aggressive fights between cats. It weakens the immune system, making affected cats more susceptible to infections. However, cats with FIV can live long, happy, and healthy lives.
One important thing to know is that FIV only affects cats. It is not contagious to humans or other animals. It does not pose any risk to human health. It's also important to note that FIV-positive cats can coexist peacefully with FIV-negative cats.
The virus is not easily transmitted through casual contact such as grooming, sharing food bowls, or even snuggling. It would require deep and aggressive bites for transmission to occur.
No medication or special food is required to manage FIV.
