Izzy

MEET IZZY!
Izzy is a beautiful big house panther (at least 6kg!) he is a special needs baby being FIV positive. Please dont let the FIV scare you though! These cats can and do live long, happy lives, they just need a vigilant, caring owner. Check out Izzy's videos!

Izzy LOVES his food and is highly food motivated! So treats are definitely a way to his heart. Izzy can be a little shy to start with, so he's looking for a patient and gentle home that will give him the time he needs to settle in and feel safe again. Once Izzy feels settled, he is a big smoocher and loves attention!

Izzy is still a playful boy and loves to play with his wand toys and cat tower! He isn't always the most gentle boy so he would be best suited to older kids 12+.

Izzy does get along well with other cats but being FIV positive, it is important the other cats in the household are vaccinated against FIV, Izzy is an INDOOR ONLY cat to keep himself and other neighbourhood cats safe from possible contraction.

Izzy does not like dogs due to being aggressively attacked by a pair of dogs before coming to rescue, he is in foster care with 2 gentle labradors but unfortunately he is still too scared to share his home with them.

Medical notes: 

Izzy is FIV positive. Though he is FIV positive, Izzy is still a healthy and happy young adult.
