Domestic Short Hair - Tim A *felv+ - Medium - Adult - Male - Cat

　　Tim A is an inquisitive, playful and affectionate tabby boy with large engaging eyes. He especially enjoys running and wrestling with other cats and will need a home with other energetic cats (that don't mind rough play) for playmates. He likes to be petted but is too active to be a lap cat at this point. He has a condition that causes his nose to be stuffy/runny. It is most likely due to exposure to a virus when he was young that permanently damaged nasal and sinus tissue which disrupts mucus clearance making him more susceptible to infection. Tim A does very well despite this but may need his human parent(s) to wipe his nose at times and may require periodic antiobiotics. We are hopeful that this condition will greatly improve when he is out of the shelter environment. Less stress means a stronger immune system and fewer flare-ups. He can also be given supplements like lysine for immune support. From following up with adoptive families, we have found that FAR has had several cats with similar respiratory conditions that have either greatly improved or completely resolved outside the shelter.
