I have not done it, but I would do it. I also encourage other adopters who come through my rescue to think about it. Many of our rescued cats who are FIV+ live or have lived with FIV- cats safely.

FIV virus is very fragile. It does not live in the environment. The saliva of the infected cat must reach the bloodstream of another cat in order to transfer. Meaning that it does not transfer via litter boxes, food or water dishes or grooming.


It would mean a lot for that kitty if you would adopt. So many fear the disease and avoid them.
