Bob came to St Francis at...
Bob came to St Francis at the end of November 2011 after being found as a stray. His tail had been badly damaged so after consultation with our resident vet it was decided to have his tail amputated. It was at this point we discovered that Bob had the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) which is why he came to St Francis. After a few weeks convalescing in our isolation area Bob was introduced to our other residents. Bob seemed to take longer than most to start to settle in at St Francis. We put this down to the fact that he was a young male stray cat who had recently been neutered and had his tail amputated and was struggling to come to terms with the fact that he could now not wander off wherever he wanted. Unfortunately six months on and Bob still hasn't settled in. Bob himself is adorable and very loving when any of our volunteers give him fuss. It is some of our other residents who just aren't letting Bob settle in. As you would expect, there can always be the odd raised paw or two when you have a multi cat household. In this case however we have a few of our residents who are hounding Bob which is making life uneasy for him. At St Francis we do not have the facilities to segregate Bob from the other residents for the long term. The trustees have also discussed that isolation for Bob long term would not be the answer as he himself is very sociable and loving. This has led the trustees to make the decision that they feel it would be best for Bob (and our other 20 residents) if we could find him a forever home. Due to Bob being FIV+ he would need to be kept as an indoor cat. Apart from having FIV Bob is otherwise a healthy 5/6 year old male who has a lovely black coat and doesn't require any medication. If you would like to know any more information please contact us via phone or email. I have also included a couple of links from our website with more information about FIV as well as a heart warming story about homing an FIV+ cat.
