Minerva is a charming, affectionate “velcro kitty” who loves being close to her people. While she has a playful side, her favorite place to be is right near you—whether that’s curled up beside you or gently walking across your lap to remind you she’s there. She may not enjoy being picked up and held, but she shows her love in her own cozy, respectful way.
Minerva is quite vocal and isn’t shy about expressing herself with adorable meows and the occasional grumble, though she’s never aggressive. She’s sensitive around other cats and might do best in a home where she can feel safe and secure without feline competition. That said, she gets along wonderfully with small dogs and has proven she can happily coexist with a canine companion.
She’s also a dream in the litter box department—excellent manners included! Minerva is looking for a calm, understanding home where her boundaries are respected and her affectionate nature can truly shine. If you’re searching for a loyal, loving companion who wants to stick by your side, Minerva might be your perfect match. 💛
Minerva is Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) positive, which is a bloodborne viral infection that affects cats, weakening their immune system over time. Similar to HIV in humans, FIV targets and destroys white blood cells, which are crucial to fighting off common diseases and illnesses. This makes cats with FIV more susceptible to various illnesses, infections, and health complications. Common bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi found in the everyday environment can pose severe threats to FIV + cats.
Although FIV can significantly impact a cat’s health, many cats with the virus can live long and healthy lives with the right care, such as regular vet visits, a nutritious diet, and protection from stress and other infections.
How Does FIV Spread?
FIV spreads among cats primarily through deep bite wounds, such as those inflicted during aggressive fights, where saliva containing the virus is introduced into the bloodstream. It is very unlikely for FIV to spread through play fighting, as the bites need to be severe enough to penetrate deeply. Unlike other contagious diseases, FIV cannot be transmitted through sharing food and water bowls, or through grooming and casual contact between cats; it requires a deep bite wound for transmission.
