Critter Details

RITA’S ADOPTION FEE HAS BEEN WAIVEDFriendly kitty who has shared a habitat room with other cats without issues.Rita is FIV+, so she must be an inside only cat. FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) is a slow acting virus that affects the cat’s immune system. FIV is a cat-only virus, and cannot be transmissible to humans or other species of animals. FIV is not spread casually, like in litter boxes, food and water bowls, or when snuggling and playing. Instead, FIV is spread through serious, penetrating bite wounds — The type of bite wound that is seen most often in feral, intact tomcats — or by blood transfusions. FIV+ cats can live in a household with other non-FIV+ cats if they are all non-aggressive. Cats that live together without fighting and are easy going in nature are at little risk for becoming infected. Cats with FIV can live very long, perfectly comfortable lives. Provide FIV+ cats with a good diet and annual veterinarian exam, and address any secondary health concerns as they arise.**WALK IN SHELTER TO ADOPT Tuesday Noon-5pm, Wednesday 12-6pm, Thursday-Sunday Noon-5pm (Closed Mondays and Holidays).
