My story

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

Hello, I'm Bella. I've lived in many places, but this shelter is my current home. I'm an expert at finding the warmest spot in any room and I have a sixth sense for locating cardboard boxes. I'm not a kitten anymore, but I still have a playful spirit. I'm hoping to find a forever home where I can share my love and companionship. Adopting me means you'll always have a friend to keep you company and brighten your day. You may notice I'm a "special paws" adoption this is because I tested positive for FIV, luckily this means the adoption fee is up to the adopter to pick!

An IDEXX FIV/FeLV test was performed in shelter using whole blood, and a positive FIV test result was noted. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) compromises the immune system, so routine preventive healthcare is important. Cats with FIV commonly live normal life spans so long as they do not have other pre-existing conditions, and any medical concerns are promptly addressed with a veterinarian. The primary mode of transmission for FIV is through bite wounds. As a result, cats in households with stable social structures where housemates do not fight are at little risk of acquiring FIV infections. FIV it is a species-specific virus that infects only felines, with no evidence it can infect or cause disease in humans. Rarely false positive tests can occur, particularly if an animal has been vaccinated against FIV. It is recommended that you follow up with your primary care veterinarian to establish a preventive healthcare plan post adoption!
