I have Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) but please don`t let that stop you from giving me a loving home!! The shelter staff has added some information below about FIV.
Cats that test positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) can live long and healthy lives, sometimes with no symptoms at all. They do require some special care. FIV can be transmitted to other cats, usually through a bite. Therefore, FIV positive cats need to be kept indoors to avoid infecting other neighborhood cats. They can live happily with other cats that are not positve for FIV as long as they get along.
In order for a FIV cat to live a long and healthy life, it is important to keep the cat`s immune system strong, with a healthy diet and a stress-free environment. Regular vet checkups are recommended.
FIV positive cats can have a difficult time finding homes, even though in all respects they are normal, loving cats. Please don`t allow the FIV stigma to prevent you from opening your heart and home to a wonderful kitty companion.
