Paul, a Cat The 3yearold has found a way to attract the attention of adoptive families visiting the Arizona state animal shelter.

Every day, Paul changes clothes, from vests to banana hats to smart ties, as the shelter posts his photos online.
Of course, all of the outfits suit the cat who exudes elegance and knows how to dress with class, but it wasn’t until a release on September 18 that Paul received the attention and popularity he deserves.
In the picture, Paul stands in front of the camera and presents his chic bow tie with Mexican skull details.
Since its release, the publication has already accumulated around 2.4 million views on Platform X.

There’s no doubt that Paul is a sweet and lovable cat, but unfortunately even the best outfit doesn’t seem to be enough for a family to decide to take him home.
Perhaps a single condition prevents this adoption from taking place immediately: Paul is an FIVpositive kitten, meaning he carries the immunodeficiency virus.
Emily Shields, founder of Whiskers ‘N’ Wishes Sanctuary, told Newsweek that Paul prefers to live as the only cat in the house, although he can live with female cats or, in certain circumstances, other male cats.
Emily added: “If you stop petting him, he will grab your hand and bring it back to his face. Being FIV+ should not affect his life expectancy or his ability to get along with other cats.”.

Cats with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV+) can live with other animals, including other cats, under certain circumstances.
However, there are some important considerations to keep in mind:
Behavior and personality: The ability of an FIV+ cat to live with other animals depends largely on its individual behavior and personality. Some cats with FIV can be aggressive toward other cats, while others are more social and tolerant.
Testing and monitoring: It is important that all cats involved are tested for FIV before being placed in the same environment. Additionally, regular monitoring is important to ensure all cats remain healthy.
Deworming and vaccination: FIV+ cats may have weakened immune systems. Therefore, it is important to keep all cats up to date on deworming and vaccinations to avoid opportunistic diseases.
Stepbystep introduction: Introducing a new cat to an environment with other cats should be gradual and controlled. This helps minimize stress and tension between animals.
At sight: It is advisable to supervise cats when they are together, at least initially, to ensure that there are no fights or confrontations that could result in injury.
Separate food and water: Make sure each cat has access to its own food and water to avoid food conflicts.
Proper medical care: FIV+ cats require regular medical care and veterinary visits to ensure any health problems are treated promptly.

Remember that every cat is unique and the decision to allow an FIV+ cat to live with other animals should be made based on the individual personalities and needs of the cats involved.
It may be a good idea to consult a veterinarian or cat behaviorist to determine whether it is safe and viable for an FIV+ cat to live with other pets.
I hope that Paul finds the perfect family who can accommodate him given his circumstances and peculiarities and of course that he continues to show off his charming looks.
