Can't tell by looking
These cats are extra special
And need no extra care
FIV+ cats need homes and love too
Rex
he is about 2 years old - and check out those front feet
Stanley is the new guy
he is super sweet
Kevin Kyle
he is about 4 years old and very insistent on getting attention
Since Colony Cats opened it's FIV+ room for cats last fall, there have been 5 adoptions!! To encourage people to adopt, their adoption fee is $25 - such a deal. Fortunately more and more people are realizing that FIV is not a death sentence and these cats (unless they are aggressive toward other cats) can live with negative cats.
For more facts, check out this article on FIV in cats from Best Friends and an article on Catster.com from our friend JaneA Kelley of Paws and Effects.

The needs of a special needs cat aren't always so special: love, attention, care, vigilance - the usual, really.
ReplyDeleteFIV+ cats have gotten such a bad rap - I'm happy that Colony Cats is working to overcome that.
ReplyDeleteWe hope they find wonderful forever homes very soon!
