Dorian kitten
So, I had Dorian neutered and the vet did bloodwork that I didn't authorize and found out he has Feline Leukemia Virus, which is the equivalent of HIV in humans. He really shouldn't live with other cats, though Raina's cats have been tested and they're fine. They've also been immunized, but I guess that's only 70% effective.
I can't send him back to where he came from (farm) because he needs to be an indoor cat with low exposure to things that could make him sick, since he'll probably at some point have an immune system that's compromised. I can't give him to the humane society because they'll immediately kill him. He's perfectly healthy right now and probably will remain so until he gets into old age.
So, I guess if you or anyone you know wants a cat that doesn't already have one, let me know. He's a sweet, very cuddly kitten, well behaved and pretty quiet. He's grey with medium length soft fur. He's just over 6 months old.
I guess there's a chance that his immune system will fight off the virus before it gets infected. I kinda want to keep him another 6 months to see if that works. I don't know. The situation sucks.
