About Billy

Yes — you should disclose both, but you can frame them in a way that’s honest without immediately scaring people away. For FIV: A lot of people still misunderstand it, so keeping it calm and educational helps. Mention that FIV+ cats can live long, happy lives and can often safely live with other friendly cats. For spraying: You should absolutely disclose it before adoption. If you leave it out and the adopter discovers it later, it can damage trust and increase the chance he gets returned. But you can explain the context — recently neutered former tomcats sometimes continue spraying for a while, especially during transitions or stress. You could word it like this in the bio: 🧡 Meet Billy 🧡 Billy is a big, handsome orange boy with an even bigger heart. Originally trapped during our TNR efforts with an injury that needed immediate care, Billy has healed beautifully and shown us he’s truly a sweetheart underneath that tough tomcat exterior. This lovable guy enjoys attention, human companionship, and lounging around like he owns the place 😻 Billy is FIV positive, but don’t let that scare you — FIV+ cats can live long, healthy, happy lives with proper care. He is neutered, vetted, and ready to find a family willing to give him the love he deserves. Billy has shown some spraying behaviors, which is not uncommon for former intact tomcats adjusting to indoor life. Because of this, he may do best with an experienced adopter willing to give him patience and help him continue transitioning into house life. After surviving life outside and recovering from his injury, Billy deserves a safe home where he’ll never have to fend for himself again 🧡
