Steve is a friendly kitty who purrs with appreciation when you give him attention. He is a major LAP CAT and may just beeline straight for your lap and just stay there, purring with appreciation. He was shy when he first arrived to the shelter, so he would probably appreciate a quieter household.

Steve is also FIV+, so he needs to be an inside only cat. FIV is slow acting, catonly virus, and cannot be transmissible to humans, dogs, or other species of animals. FIV is not spread casually – like in litter boxes, food and water bowls, or when snuggling and playing. Instead, FIV is spread through serious, deep penetrating bite wounds The type of bite wound that is seen most often in feral, intact tomcats or by blood transfusions. Cats with FIV can live very long, perfectly comfortable lives. Provide FIV+ cats with a good diet and annual veterinarian exam, and address any secondary health concerns as they arise.
