Tinks is a three-year-old black domestic shorthair who’s tested positive for FIV. Living with FIV simply means Tinks should stay indoors; this helps protect his immune system. The virus doesn’t affect people, and it only poses any risk to other cats through serious bites—casual contact like sharing food, water, or litterboxes is completely safe. For households where cats get along without fighting, there's really nothing special to worry about. Tinks is an easygoing, super sweet cat who enjoys being close but doesn’t demand constant attention. If you’re around, he’s right there soaking up every pet, but when you’re busy, he’s just as happy curled up somewhere sunny and quiet. He’s ready for a peaceful, loving home where he can thrive indoors. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
