I’ve posted before about Larry. I thought he was a stray or more likely abandoned and I’ve been feeding him for over a month now and trying to find a home for him (my wife is allergic so I can’t bring him in). I found out today he has a home. One of my neighbors owns him. The problem is he’s very thin and not neutered and is allowed to roam around the neighborhood. It seems at least as far a I can tell he’s not being taken care of. I’m really torn as to what to do. I’ve thought about confronting the neighbor but they don’t speak English. Any advice would be appreciated.
Yeah I was pretty upset when I learned he had it. I think a lot of people don’t realize it’s out there and common.
So neutering isn’t just to prevent street kittens but could help reduce the infection rate.
There are other viruses that are pretty bad for cats. Like the lukemia one. I’m not sure if it’s transmitted the same. But probably since it’s a virus.
There is an adolescent male with a collar on that comes up to my porch some times.
I’ve been trying to figure out who the owner is. Let them know that local outdoor cats around the neighborhood have FIV. They need to get him neutered and should honestly keep him inside.
