LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Beefcake is a lovable four-year-old cat living with FIV, or Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.

He's friendly, cuddly, and looking for his fur-ever home!

Executive Director of Nevada SPCA Lori Heeren says Beefcake can live a normal, healthy life with FIV.

It is recommended that Beefcake is on his own or with other FIV cats.

The virus works by killing or damaging cells in a cat's immune system by targeting white blood cells. That makes FIV-positive cats more vulnerable to secondary infections.

The NSPCA doesn't know Beefcake's history with dogs, but he does okay with families and children, Heeren says.
