PHOENIX - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Brazil, Indiana

PHOENIX is a 4 year old domestic short hair Tuxedo taken in as a lost, injured cat on 5/7/26. Very personable, he adores attention. A cuddler, Phoenix loves being held, petted and snuggling up with Lego, another FIV+ cat. While he and Lego are best of buds, Phoenix will stare down cats who are at the end of the hallway in another room. He's interested in playing, but with 2 adult cats sharing the limited space of a condo, there isn't ample room to cut loose full throttle playing. A solidly big boy at intake, Phoenix's limited activity has led to some weight gain and he and Lego are now fed a restricted amount of food. Hoping Phoenix and Lego are adopted together. Phoenix's adoption fee is $70 and helps cover the cost of his neuter, vaccinations, worming, monthly flea and heart worm preventive, FIV/FeLV tests, microchip and care while at CCHS.
We share the following information, not to scare off adopters, only to help educate so that one knows what to expect with FIV. There are no specific symptoms of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). FIV+ cats have a weaker immune system, so they're more prone to getting infections like upper respiratory infection, ringworm and dental disease. There are no proven treatments for FIV. Most FIV+ cats handle the disease well, but it's important to focus on treating secondary illnesses. To help reduce exposure to secondary illnesses, FIV+ cats should be indoor only. Cats with FIV tend to have normal lives, both in quality and duration. They just need to be monitored for infections and dental issues. If they’re well cared for, they can be healthy, happy, wonderful pets. FIV+ cats should live with other FIV+ cats or be the only cat. FIV is not transmissible to dogs or humans. Hoping this helps someone open their heart to an FIV+ cat.
