For inquiries contact jean@staf.org. Information and application are at www.staf.org. Darius is a magnificent tuxedo boy always dressed to the nines, and he will make his debut as soon as he feels comfortable. He was rescued from a state park, found in a drainage pipe by a park ranger, limping and needing help. He was taken to the vet for examination where we learned that Darius tested positive for FIV, and an X-ray showed that he had an old fracture of the carpus (wrist joint) that healed wrong. As far as his FIV goes, Darius can live a full, healthy life as long as his immune system stays in topnotch shape. He can reside with other friendly felines as long as everyone gets along. His paw is slightly bent, but he has learned to acclimate, and he gets around just fine. Darius spends his days in one of our beautiful FIV positive rooms, where he enjoys his kittymates and visits from our volunteers. He would do well in a home with low activity, since he gets frightened easily. He has learned to trust, and he is really coming out of his shell; looking for attention, soft belly rubs and head butts, but it may take him some time to warm up to a new friend. You will be attracted to his stunning looks, so if you go slow, Darius will first show his coy side, but then will open up for a full-blown performance, offering his love!
