One of the rescues I featured is very pro-FIV in the sense that they can live harmoniously with non-FIV cats in the right situation.Three Chatty Catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237191425729502487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048142180280267442.post-56582177679931269952016-07-17T20:45:40.202-04:002016-07-17T20:45:40.202-04:00This is so wonderful!

I hate that Sassy has to be kept separate from the other kitties because I'm always afraid when I tell people that that I am reinforcing the stigma that FIV+ cats can't live with "normal" cats. I always have to qualify the situation by saying that she is kept separate not because she is FIV+, but because she genuinely does not like other cats and it stresses her out, and she fights with them. Anyway, thank you for helping to spread the word and end the negative stigma surrounding FIV. I hope this new FIV room is a big success and helps to get FIV kitties adopted!<br />Also, thank you for your kind words of love and support on Milton's memorial post. We appreciate it more than you know. We know that as a foster mom and cat rescuer, you understand and relate to what we are feeling right now.

We think that the oversimplification of explaining that FIV is "cat AIDS" has made it that much harder to get people to hear how FIV isn't so bad after all. It sounds like this is a great way for the FIV+ cats at the rescue to spend some time with the humans who will fall in love with them and hopefully adopt them!
