Blue

My story

Hi everyone! Meet Blue! She is a 6 year old momma cat. She is FIV+. She had 2 kittens that were recently adopted, and now she’s looking for her forever! She may be a little shy at first, but she will seek attention after she gets to know you. She may even flop on your computer desk to make sure she’s getting enough head rubs 🥰🥰 FIV is caused by a retrovirus (lentivirus) that is similar to HIV in that it breaks down the immune system’s ability to fight off disease. The virus does not persist in the environment outside the cat’s body for more than a few hours and is readily destroyed by most disinfectants, which is good news for shelters that decide to hold FIV positive cats. It is transmitted primarily through bite wounds, and is much more common amongst intact male cats who are most likely to fight. Casual cat-to-cat spread is not believed to be common. FIV+ cats can live a long, healthy life. Adopting a FIV+ cat saves a cat that many may think are unadoptable.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Blue, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
