When I was a kid, we had a few stray cats that would show up at our door.  You always need to do your due diligence and try and find the owner, and try and get their pet back to them. However, that doesn't always work out.  So, we had a couple of strays that wound up being our family pets.  One thing did happen, and they had no interest in going outside.

ONE YEAR OLD MACHO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME AND SOME LOVE

That is the case with little Macho.  He is just over one year old.  He loves people and is very sweet and friendly. He has tested positive for FIV - Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.  This is just something to keep an eye on.  There isn't any medication you need to administer, or a special diet.  Just a good diet.  It isn't contagious to humans, but it is to other cats.  However, it's only a worry if two cats get into a scuffle and a deep bite happens.

SLOW AND PROPER INTRODUCTIONS ARE NECESSARY

So if you happen to have a resident cat, it's the best idea to make sure they get along before bringing a new pet into the home.  But that is kind of true with all pets.  Slow and proper introductions with resident pets and kids too.

HOW TO MEET MACHO, OR ANY OF THE OTHER ADOPTABLE PETS

Make an appointment, or just stop into the Tri-County Humane Society and meet Macho.  Your next family member may be waiting there!
