Sid! While he is social, he is adverse to other cats.
He is truly a sweet boy if you are not a cat and his antics are highly regarded at the building. He needs a home with no other cats and he loves canned food and catnip! ...And a laser light!
Sid is very affectionate and just adorable. He is a big boy and has awesome color. And what a big bullseye on him! He will let you hold him for short periods of time and does pretty well with the nail clipper. He is always singing for attention when we walk past his room and absolutely love when volunteers enter his room. He will rub up against their legs and purr like crazy. He is ready for a human to love unconditionally, long-term. Please note that Sid is FIV +. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) . The primary mode of transmission for FIV is through bite wounds from an infected cat. Casual, non-aggressive contact, such as sharing water bowls or mutual grooming, does not appear to be an efficient route of spreading the virus. As a result, cats in households with stable social structures where housemates do not fight are at little risk of acquiring FIV infections. FIV-infected cats exist worldwide, but the prevalence of infection varies greatly. In North America, approximately 2.5-5% percent of healthy cats are infected with FIV. Rates are significantly higher (15 percent or more) in cats that are sick or at high risk of infection. Because FIV is transmitted through deep bite wounds, un-neutered male cats with outdoor access, especially those who are likely to fight with other cats, are at the greatest risk for FIV infection. However, it is important to realize that while it is impossible to predict the survival of a given cat infected with FIV, cats infected with FIV can live very normal, healthy lives for many years if managed appropriately. Dogs and humans cannot catch it and it, to repeat, is shared by deep bite wounds. (Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine)
