CUTEST, SWEETEST YOUNG GINGER BOY IS JUST A BIT SHY
I am FIV+ and I will discuss this near the end of my biography so that you understand how "Positively Adoptable" I am.
Hello friends! My name is Jose. I was found outdoors and alone as a young boy in a rural area of Virginia. I was scared and unsure how to process everything happening in the big world around me. But I have wonderful luck...  kind people took me off the streets and introduced me to King Street Cats!
I'm charming my new volunteer friends who describe me as "the cutest little boy you could meet." I'm a little bit shy when I first meet new people but a soft, reassuring voice combined with slow, non-threatening movements will turn me into a purr machine. My friends here spend a lot of time with me and I now realize what a rewarding experience it is to give my trust to the caring people I'm surrounded by.
Did you know that male "orange" cats have a reputation for making very dedicated, low-key and adaptable companions? Don't take my word for it, you can read about it. (You'll also learn that a "moggie" is a British term for a cat of no particular breed, like me!)  I'm going to make a cherished friend and family member once I settle into my own home and understand that I'm safe, secure and loved.
I was born in January 2017 so I am a youngster. I'm an unusually deep golden honey (or "ginger" colored)  tabby with an irresistibly cute face. Wait until you see my bright green eyes and perfect pink nose (I will use it to nudge you when I'd like a little more attention). I've got subtle tabby markings running throughout my fur, as do all "orange" cats. 
Yes, I am FIV+, which means that I have Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. At some point I must have been received a *deep puncture* bite wound from another cat with FIV. You can still adopt me! My friends at KSC will answer any questions you have, but let me give you the basics:
FIV is not the same as Feline AIDS.
It is not the same as the human forms of HIV or AIDS.
Humans cannot catch it. Dogs cannot catch it. 
An FIV+ cat does not necessarily develop Feline AIDS.
FIV can only be spread from one cat to another cat through deep-puncture bite wounds. 
My care requirements do not differ from those of a non-FIV cat.
Here's what I'll need in terms of care:
I'll need you to feed me a high quality diet (preferably a grain-free, high-protein canned/wet food);
I'll need you to come to know my behaviors so that you can notice changes that may be health-related;
I'll need you to develop a good working relationship with a veterinarian who is current on FIV issues, and seek that veterinarian's assistance if you notice any changes in my behavior or health;
I'll need you to provide me with regular veterinary care;
I'll need you to keep me indoors so that I am not exposed to feral cats or wild animals.
That's all. Wouldn't you do that for any kitty? I thought so! 
Please come to meet me! It's easy to get started: send an email to contact@kingstreetcats.org and ask for me, the adorable Jose. I can't wait to blossom with your patience and love.
Gratefully yours,
Jose
