A five or six year old stray cat recently came into my life — and instead of letting him suffer on the street I decided to try and take care of him. It started with a trip to the vet this morning, where I found out that this cat, Dexter, tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). While similar to the human form, HIV — FIV has no treatment what-so-ever. While the cat is expected to live for many years — he is already showing symptoms of the disease.
Dexter is missing a few teeth, and has some issues eating food. He weighs eight pounds and is really bony. I am doing everything I can to get him into a no-kill cat rescue shelter. However, they are all full right now. I am pulling strings with everyone I know, in hope that someone will be able to take him in.
He is probably the sweetest cat that I have ever seen. He does nothing but sit around and purr.
My plan is to make a donation to the rescue shelter that takes him in, as they are all non-profit and work on donations only. We are trying to get him into either Casa de los Gatos or HOPE Animal Shelter in Tucson, Arizona.
