Hi! I'm Mark Harmon.

I am a cute black and white tuxedo male.

I am loving and playful.

I have been neutered, but I tested positive FIV or feline immunodeficiency virus.

I will need to be an only cat or in a home with another FIV positive cat.

I can be around dogs, as FIV only affects cats.

Here is some information about FIV.

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is one of the most common and consequential infectious diseases of cats around the world. In infected cats, FIV attacks the immune system, leaving the cat vulnerable to many other infections. Although cats infected with FIV may appear normal for years, they eventually suffer from immune deficiency, which allows normally harmless bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi found in the everyday environment to potentially cause severe illnesses. Though there is no cure for FIV, recent studies suggest that cats with FIV commonly live average life spans, as long as they are not also infected with feline leukemia virus. FIV is commonly spread by bite wounds, not by grooming or sharing food and water bowls.
