Buddy showed-up on his owner’s porch four years ago and refused to leave until she let him in the house, and there he stayed making himself right at home.
Buddy is a "gentle giant" weighing in at 18+ pounds. He is so sweet and mellow and a very handsome white and brown tiger DSH cat. He’s approximately seven years old. He’s healthy and has good hygiene habits. He has, however tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). A cat who tests positive for FIV can live long, normal lives and can also live with cats who test negative. The primary mode of transmission is through bite wounds. Casual, non-aggressive contact does not appear to be an efficient route of spreading FIV; as a result, cats in households with stable social structures where housemates do not fight are at little risk for acquiring FIV infections.
Buddy lived happily with his owner and even when she went into an assisted living facility, Buddy remained with her and was quite the hit with everyone. He had many well-deserved admirers. Unfortunately, his owner is now in a convalescent home and can no longer keep Buddy. He’s such a lovely companion kitty, anyone would be lucky to call him friend and family.
