My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

FIV cat = positively adoptable!

Meet our delightful 10-month-old female calico "Tinkerbella"'. Despite testing positive for FIV, she has never experienced any health issues and radiates joy through her playful nature. While she hasn't been spayed yet due to her size and age, don't worry, because the wonderful 9LCR organization will generously cover the costs. This little charmer used to be fond of dogs but now prefers a more independent lifestyle. She is incredibly affectionate, making her a perfect companion for both single-cat households and socialized multi-cat environments. With her lively spirit and loving personality, this special feline is ready to bring endless happiness to a lucky forever home!


Information about FIV:

Cats who test positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) can still live healthy and long lives due to several factors. FIV-positive cats can maintain good health with proper care, nutrition, and regular veterinary check-ups. Although the virus weakens the immune system, cats can still fight off infections and diseases with appropriate management. FIV-positive cats should be kept indoors to reduce exposure to potential risks, such as fighting with other cats that could transmit secondary infections. With a loving and supportive environment, FIV-positive cats can lead fulfilling lives, enjoying a good quality of life despite their condition.
Research shows FIV is only transmitted through deep blood-drawing bite wounds. FIV+ cats can happily live in socialized multi-cat households.
