We were told that she could not find placement due to his FIV status and, \u201cthat he loves cats, but is shy around people\u201d. With his preliminary test accurately proving he is FIV positive, perhaps his adorable and friendly personality suggests that we were misinformed about his \u201cshy\u201d personality. This guy will surely melt your heart!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bob: One to Fight For<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gradyvet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-fiv-cats-2-1.png\" alt=\"3 FIV+ Cats to Fall in Love With\" class=\"wp-image-85\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Once again, a STAF volunteer was off to the rescue as she was contacted by a woman letting her know that a \u201cbeaten up\u201d cat had shown up at the woman\u2019s house. As soon as the volunteer could get to&nbsp;<strong>Bob<\/strong>, she trapped him and took him to the vet right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of Bob\u2019s battle wounds were treated, he was neutered, and he was brought to safety. This handsome grey and white boy surely tested FIV positive (to be expected) by the fact that he was truly out fighting for territory and food. He is still a bit shy while he is getting to know his new surroundings, but pretty soon, the only thing he will be \u201cfighting for\u201d is who\u2019s lap he will sit in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wade: Friendly and Fabulous<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gradyvet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-fiv-cats-3.png\" alt=\"3 FIV+ Cats to Fall in Love With\" class=\"wp-image-86\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>From our FIV waiting list, no waiting was needed in order to determine that&nbsp;<strong>Wade<\/strong>&nbsp;is a fabulous orange man!
