A homeless cat appears. He goes to the vet and he has FIV. We will retest in 3 months, it may be a false positive. He is about 3 years old and healthy otherwise. He is not "Shedding" the virus, but we will still not introduce to the other cats. He is no longer an intact male.

  • I had not seen the first video and how he came to you. You guys are amazing. You know I can see how sad and depressed he is in this video. I can just reach out and touch it. He is comfortable but very sad. Then you look at the oatmeal video and you see a cat who is filled with joy and adventure, a cat who is so loved. And that is all because of you so a big pat on the back. What a sweetheart he is and how lucky to have you. Thank you for taking him in.

  • @hanssue Interesting, what a sensitive take you have on Merlin! He seemed tenative and over time I realize that he had not been around humans for quite some time. He had to learn to blink back to humans, initially he just stared. If you want a laugh, look at the video Merlin in a Harness: Carrot on a Stick.. Before he learned to walk.

    He has FIV, but may very well live to a ripe old age. Maybe a low viral load. At any rate there are limits on letting him out or exposure to the other cats.

  • Merlin is such a beautiful cat! I love orange cats! Is he fine now? Hope so! Wish you and your

    animals a merry christmas!

  • @dearmalika Thanks for enjoying Merlin, he is sure easy on the eyes!! Merlin does have FIV, confirmed. He is very healthy otherwise and we intend to keep him that way. 

  • I love this vid and I love your style! Very upfront and and very cat friendly!!! you are truly cat!!! Merlin is lucky to have you!

  • @Suzan4B Why Thank YOU. One of the nicest things ever said to me, Truly Cat.

    Merlin is a real dear. We've been walking him on a harness outside and he doesn't fall down so much....see the Merlin walks on a Harness/Leash. I have taken video and will edit and post soon. He is a fun cat. I think I'm lucky!

  • @venniey - I'm so glad that he is ok! My 2 cats have feline immunodeficiency!But they are well at moment!

  • @venniey I had seen the harness video (think I commented on it) and also knew then about the FIV. He is so much fun to watch. You have helped the "inner Merlin" to emerge.

  • Oh he looks so sweet and so lucky to have you to guide him back to health. I also watched the vid with him on leash for the first time. So very sweet. Keep us posted.

  • He's very cute!

  • @venniey yes you are very lucky and so is Merlin and all other cats that fall under your wing!
