Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Fancy Nancy is a fun and loving 5 year old gal! She was found wandering the streets in Lansing but was WAY to sweet to be out there that's for sure!
Fancy Nancy is FIV+, don't stop reading now please!!! Let's talk a little more about FIV first...
FIV cats live normal lives, with other cats in the home too! FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. That just means cats like Fancy Nancy have a lower immune system, and could get sick a little easier. This is similar to many conditions humans have that affect our immune systems too!
FIV is *not* contagious to your other cats in the home except via very aggressive blood-drawing bite wounds, So most FIV+ cats can live safely with FIV- cats. Fancy Nancy isn't aggressive at all, so we can't see her getting like that with others! Cats who are FIV+ also tend to live very normal and long happy lives, FIV alone is not shown to shorten their life or their quality of life!!
Help end the stigma today, and consider adopting an FIV+ cat and saving a life! :)
