Meet OJ!
OJ is such a gentle boy. Sadly he was attacked by another cat, at one point we didn’t think he would make it but thankfully he did. Because of the attack, OJ tested positive for FIV.
FIV is primarily spread through bite wounds from an infected cat, typically during fights between outdoor cats. FIV can affect any cat, but it is most commonly diagnosed in outdoor, unneutered male cats who fight.
Signs of FIV infection may include:
Fever
Anemia
Immune system suppression
However, some cats may not show any symptoms at all.
FIV-positive cats can still live long and healthy lives with proper management. FIV-positive cats should be kept indoors, as they are more susceptible to infections from other cats.
If you are looking for an only cat or have one if FIV please consider adopting OJ.
You can visit and adopt OJ from Precious Paws Animal Rescue in Franklin!
