My story

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

Hera is named after the Goddess of childbirth, and her story truly lives up to her name. She came to the rescue at barely six months old, pregnant, and soon after gave birth to her kittens. Now a loving 1-year-old girl, Hera has been spayed and is ready to be cherished in a wonderful forever home.

Please stay with us for this next part—Hera deserves it. Hera has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). FIV affects a cat’s immune system, making it harder to fight certain infections, but it is only transmissible between cats, typically through deep bite wounds. It cannot be passed to humans or other animals. While the diagnosis can sound scary, many FIV-positive cats live long, healthy, and happy lives with proper care and a low-stress environment.

For her safety and the safety of other cats, Hera will need to be the only cat in her new home or live with other FIV-positive cats. She actually gets along very well with other cats, and if you’re interested in adopting a companion for her, we have other FIV-positive kitties who are also looking for homes.

Hera would do best in a household with older children and a family ready to give her the love and stability she deserves. If you have any questions or concerns about adopting an FIV-positive cat, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re happy to help.
