Art Vandelay is a gentle giant part polar bear and part cat. He has a luscious thick coat big ears and a very expressive face. He is big and snuggly, but wants to pretend that he is an international man of mystery! Art is a laid back quiet and sensitive man of few words, but many purrs. He'd prefer a home where he can relax and patrol lots of sunny windows! He has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). FIV is not a big deal; given proper care and attention, an FIV+ cat will live the same lifespan as an FIV negative cat. The disease is extremely hard to transmit from cat to cat, requiring direct blood contact (typically from a deep puncture wound). It is not transmissable to humans.
