I Can't Believe This!, Found a stray cat and found out he is FIV+ Options

[LisaP]

I am heartsick today. Our sweet cat Lindy has been missing for 3 weeks. Last week a lovely lady called and said that she had found Lindy. I raced over to her house and she showed me this poor, beat up, skin and bones, male tabby cat. Definitely not our female Lindy. I went home but couldn't stop thinking about this poor skinny, one eyed, cat living in her bush. I called her the next morning and asked her what she was going to do with the cat. She didn't know but she definitely didn't want him. I decided to take him home and care for him the way I would want someone to care for Lindy if they found her. Well, we have all gotten so attached to him. I have put up posters, put his picture on Craigslist, and called all of the humane shelters and vets around us. Noone has claimed him.

Today I took him to the vet and found out that he is FIV positive. I am so upset. We have another kitty in the home and I still believe that Lindy will be home soon. The new cat, Mike Wazowski (the one eyed monster in Monsters, INC) has just settled into our family beautifully but I am worried about the FIV. How will I find him a home now?? He is not the most attractive guy (missing an eye and all), he is FIV +, and he is only "mostly" litter box trained.

I am heartbroken. . . I want Lindy back, I want Mike Wazowski to be healthy, and nothing is working like it should.
