My story

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

Meet Chet! This super sweet boy is full of playful energy and goofy charm. He loves to have fun, make you laugh, and soak up attention along the way. Whether he’s batting at toys or doing something adorably silly, Chet’s personality shines through. If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate cat with a big dose of goofiness, Chet is your guy!

Chet is also FIV+.

Worried About FIV? There’s Good News

FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) is fairly common in cats, especially those who have lived outdoors. With proper care, FIV positive cats can live long, happy, affectionate lives.

FIV only affects cats—it cannot be passed to humans, dogs, or other animals. It’s mainly spread through deep bite wounds, not casual contact like sharing bowls, grooming, or cuddling. That’s why many FIV positive and FIV negative cats live together peacefully.

There’s no cure, but most FIV positive cats do very well with routine vet care. FIV doesn’t mean a cat is always sick—it just means they may take a little longer to recover if they do get ill.

FIV positive cats are not “fragile” or “sickly”—they’re just cats who deserve loving homes. Many adopters say their FIV positive cats are some of the sweetest, most affectionate companions they’ve ever had.

If you’re open to learning and loving, an FIV positive cat may be the perfect match for you.
