My story

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

Please contact Jamie (jamie@pawsandprayers.org) for more information about this pet.

 



Meet Bellatrix! This beautiful 7-year-old gray-and-white domestic medium hair kitty is as sweet as she is striking with her stunning green eyes. Bellatrix is a loving and affectionate companion, especially with her humans, though she prefers to be the only cat in the household. While Bellatrix is FIV-positive, it is not contagious to humans or other animals. It is safe for her to live with other kitties who are not FIV+. She takes Lysine daily to help support her immune system, and this medication will need to continue in her new home. Bellatrix is ready to shower you with love and would thrive in a peaceful environment where she can be your one and only feline friend. Her adoption fee is $135. Give this sweet girl the home she deserves!

Many FIV-infected cats can live happily with the virus for a long time, and in some cats, the virus may never cause illness. Whether disease develops depends on several factors including the strain of FIV a cat is infected with, the cat’s immune response, and the presence or absence of other infections.  

The main aims of managing an FIV infection are to prevent further spread of infection to other cats and to maintain a good quality of life for the infected cat.

General and supportive treatment includes: 

  • Neutering all FIV-infected cats to reduce the risk of fighting and the spread of infection 

  • Keeping FIV-positive cats indoors and keeping them away from non-infected cats. This helps prevent the spread of infection to other cats and reduces exposure of the FIV-infected cat to other infections.

  • In stable homes where cats don’t fight, the risk of spread of infection is low

  • Feeding good quality, commercial cat food and avoiding raw meat, eggs and unpasteurised dairy products 

  • Maintaining routine preventive healthcare (regular flea and worm control, routine vaccinations etc.) 

  • Veterinary health checks twice yearly. Your vet may recommend certain blood tests periodically to monitor your cat’s health 

  • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment of any secondary or concurrent diseases 

Paws and Prayers Cats are spay/neuter, fully vaccinated, FIV/FeLV tested (positive for FIV), dewormed, current on flea/tick prevention, and microchipped at the time of adoption. They are litterbox trained unless otherwise noted. Please be aware we do not walk around standing & holding our shelter cats - this is unnatural to them and we like to keep them as comfortable as possible.  Please read the entire bio before emailing the foster with questions.  Meet and greets are not arranged unless an adoption application is filled out and approved and are by appointment only. 

This pet qualifies for the Pets for Patriots program  https://www.petsforpatriots.org/veterans/

More about this rescue

Our primary mission is to rescue, care for, and find loving homes for homeless cats and dogs. Our secondary goal is to make sure all of these animals are spayed or neutered. It is a big task, but we are ready! Paws and Prayers is based in the Northeast Ohio region. We operate as a non-profit, incorporated organization that functions solely on the efforts of foster homes and adoption volunteers.
