*If you really want to make a difference, adopt an FIV+ cat!
It's really not a big deal at all yet they often get overlooked!

*What is FIV?
FIV is a feline immunodeficiency virus. FIV+ cats almost always get overlooked just for this reason. It's not because these cats are high maintenance but because most people are uneducated on the topic. FiV Simply means they can have a weakened immune system. Because of this It's important they be kept inside and in a low stress home which is exactly what we aim to provide for all our cats not just those who particularly benefit from it.

There are a few things to know about FIV.

• Humans cannot catch FIV: It is exclusively a feline virus.

• Cats can only spread it to other cats by blood: This means a deep, deep bite down to the gums or a very deep scratch down to the claw cuticle. Playful wrestling will not warrant this, only very rough, out-to-kill fights, which is why many shelter cats who have lived on the streets, unfortunately, have contracted it. An FIV+ cat is very unlikely to spread the virus to an FIV- cat while play-fighting.

• FIV is not a "sickness": There are no medications or special treatment of any kind required. There is no medication required for the majority of their life. All FIV does is lower a cat's immune system, so he should not go outside. This is the only major stipulation of owning an FIV+ cat. He should be indoors, and if you notice something amiss, the cat should be taken to a vet sooner rather than later since they have low immune systems. Otherwise, nothing about owning an FIV+ cat takes extra effort or expense during their good years. They are just like normal cats.

***Research has shown that FIV- positive cats are in fact very adoptable, and can live the same lifespan as an FIV-negative cat. This research has also debunked the myth that FIV- positive cats cannot safely live with non- infected cats.
