This big boy is a gentle giant, so sweet and friendly! 

We all hear the stories of how people move and leave their pets behind. Sadly, this is exactly what happened to Nix.

He gets along with other cats, eats well and has excellent litter box manners. Plus he loves belly rubs and is a champion Biscuit Maker!!! 

He is FIV + which means he needs to be kept indoors with proper nutrition and get regular vet checkups just like any other cat. No special care is needed.

FIV cannot spread to humans. It is a species-specific virus that only affects cats. FIV cannot infect people, dogs, or other non-feline pets. FIV is primarily transmitted between cats through deep bite wounds.

FIV-positive cats can live long, healthy lives and can even live with non-FIV cats safely, provided they do not fight.

Nix deserves a chance for a family that will love him - not abandon him. He just needs a second chance.

Check out a recent video of him meeting one of our volunteers for the 1st time - he immediately climbed into her lap!

All FURR Cats & Kittens are seen by a vet before being posted online and have been:

• Spayed / Neutered to help control the pet population
• Microchipped to help ensure your best friend can be brought home if lost.
• Vaccinated; FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia) & Rabies (which is legally required in most states).  These will need to be kept current after adoption.
• Tested Negative for FIV & FELV unless otherwise noted on their profile
• Treated with de-wormer, anti-parasitics, flea baths & prevention, ear mites and anything else our vet deems needed for good health.  This can sometimes include antibiotics and eye/upper respiratory medicines, etc.
• Many of our fosters also use pre/probiotics and vitamins to fully support their tiny immune systems during transitions.
