Dexter (FIV+)

Description

Dexter is the kind of cat who makes coming home the best part of your day. He'll be waiting at the door to greet you, ready for gentle pets, cozy naps in sunny spots, and quiet time by your side. Though he's FIV-positive, that's only a small part of who he is. What really defines Dexter is his sweet heart, loving personality, and his hope of finally finding a family to call his own. If you're looking for a loyal companion with so much love to give, Dexter is waiting to meet you. Give this deserving boy the fresh start he's been dreaming of. Dexter is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, FeLV negative, and FIV positive. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This kitty lives with FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), which is a common, slow-acting virus that weakens the immune system over time. FIV is contracted through deep bite wounds from another cat infected with FIV. Cats with FIV live long, happy lives with few restrictions and often do not need special diet or medicine. If you’re interested in this cat, KKR can arrange a meet and greet with the foster.
