Our FIV+ cats available for adoption

adoptions!

    My name is
Squiggley Quigley.
I'm called this name because I am always rolling
around on the floor. I also like to give strong head butts to be sure you
are paying attention. I
would like to find my forever home soon. I have special needs, so I’m
looking for a very special person who has no other cats. I am fabulous
with cat-friendly dogs. I’m spayed, microchipped, and current on all my shots. |
All of our FIV+ cats are:
-
spayed or neutered
-
current on
vaccinations
-
housetrained

What you should know about Feline Immunodeficiency Virus
(FIV):
-
FIV can only be carried by felines (cats). It cannot be spread to
other species such as humans or dogs.
-
FIV is NOT a death sentence.
Many FIV+ cats can live many years without becoming symptomatic / ill
(same as any other cat). -
Unlike the Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), FIV is not
transmitted between cats through casual contact, such as sharing food bowls,
grooming, litterboxes, or living in the same area.
-
FIV is primarily transmitted to other cats through
blood transfusions and vicious, penetrating bite wounds. Bites of this
nature are very rare and are most common amongst intact (not neutered) outdoor tom
cats.
-
FIV-positive cats can co-exist with
FIV-negative cats, provided the home is stable, calm, and the cats are
friendly with each other. Proper integration is critical, as well as an
honest assessment of the cats' personalities. -
The most important things an adopter can do is keep the cat indoors in a
clean, low-stress environment, and feed the cat a high-quality food.
-
FIV+ cats' health has to be monitored, and any sign of illness needs to be
treated by a vet immediately (same as any other cat).
-
FIV+ cats need to be kept separate from cats and other animals who are
sick.
-
Unfortunately, any cat for adoption anywhere might have a disorder or
undetected disease that might lead to a premature death. An FIV- result does
not guarantee a long life, and an FIV+ result does not guarantee a short one.
Stop by to see our cats available at our PETsMART
adoption centers, or contact our
Feline Foster Care Coordinator to arrange an appointment with a cat in
foster care.
No-kill FIV & FeLV Cat Sanctuaries
(These organizations are not affiliated with PACT Humane
Society. Sanctuaries typically do not adopt out animals. Please
check with each organization regarding their policies before deciding to
place a cat there to insure their policies meet with your
hopes/expectations.)
