Domestic Short Hair - Black - Maple - Small - Adult - Male - Cat
Maple was found as a stray. He is very friendly and likes other cats and dogs. He is barely 1 year old and petite. Neutered. Up to date on rabies. Tested FIV positive. Looking for an indoor home as the only cat or with other feline AIDS positive kitties. He does not show any signs of the virus. About FIV. FIV is a cat-only disease. This immuno- deficiency virus (like all immunodeficiency viruses) is very species specific - so specific, in fact, that the virus domestic cats have is different from the kind the big cats have. You cannot catch FIV from your pet. FIV is spread between cats by bite wounds and blood transfusions. Unless your FIV kitty bites another cat, the virus cannot spread. FIV can never be spread casually. Casual includes litter boxes, water and food bowls or snuggling and playing. It is even unlikely for an FIV mother to give FIV to her kittens. So, what I am saying is that unless Malcolm and Simon were to bite another cat (and if you met them you would know they're really not into biting anything!) they cannot spread FIV - no exception, no way. With the truth about FIV in hand, there is no reason that Maple should not be in a loving home. FIV cats can live quite long and quite normal lives. Cats seem to live a long time with this virus often with no symptoms at all. Of course, there is no guarantee that an FIV cat will not develop clinical disease; but there's no guarantee that any cat won't get sick from something sooner or later! Meanwhile, it seems that the life span of FIV cats is quite long and that they have a lot to give us. FIV should not be a sentence or a stigma that prevents a delightful feline from coming into your home. It's time to end the fear and misinformation about this virus and to spread the truth about FIV so that these healthy cats can find the homes and the love they deserve.
