KEEP KEEP KEEP!!!

My Bobby is FIV+. He has lived here for over 3 years now, and is the sweetest boy ever. He only loves, never fights. None of my others are at risk.

Feline IV, unlike HIV, never mutates into full blown AIDS, so Bobby will never get sick and die of "this." His immune system is compromised, so he may die of something a stronger cat could fight off. Even a "kitty cold," aka URI, upper respiratory infection. When I decided to keep him, I stopped bringing ferals through here, to limit what ailments he gets exposed to. He and all my kitties are indoor only, so they are not bringing stuff in on a regular basis, as an outdoor kitty could do.

Any time the kitty goes to a vet, be sure to remind the vet this one is FIV+. They do treatments a bit differently. AND the annual rabies vaccine is a killed virus, NOT the live virus our other cats get.

GO FOR IT!

That's my response.
