Selfies with Chungus

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. If you're looking for a big ol' hunk of love, look no further. Our pal Chungus is the most definitely the mancat for you!

Okay, we know you're wondering about how Chungus got his name (we certainly were when we first met him). We're told it's a mashup of his former name, "Chunky Gus." This big and gentle guy was rescued after being unceremoniously dumped in a feral cat colony with no idea how to care for himself. He's about 4 years old, neutered, and current on his vaccinations. He's super sweet and friendly, and even lived harmoniously with dogs and cats in his foster home.

Chungus has tested positive for FIV, but it's important to remember this does not mean he can't live a long and happy life. According to Best Friends Animal Society, "FIV-positive cats can live normal lives, both in quality and duration. They just need to be monitored for infections and dental issues. But if they’re well cared for, they can be healthy, happy, wonderful pets." FIV cannot be passed to other cats through casual contact, or by sharing food, water, or a litter box. Nor can it be passed to people or other pet species.

Chungus is so ready to find his happily ever after. Is it with you?

It's Sunday, which means we're hopping along in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our pals at The Cat On My Head. Be sure to check it out to see who else is hopping along (or to join in on the fun)!
