Suzanne

My story

Suzanne is a very friendly girl who loves to have attention and spend time with people. She seems open to being friends with other cats and would be a great companion for another adult or senior cat in your home or just for you! Suzanne has tested positive for FIV, also known at kitty Aids. Just like with people it is NOT contagious through casual contact. It's safe to share food, water, and litter box with a negative cat. FIV is only passed by a deep bite wound, where saliva from the positive cat enters the blood stream of another kitty. This is very rare in socialized house cats. FIV cats can have a shorter life span in part due to the fact that with a compromised immune system they are more prone to contracting infections. FIV positive cats must live strictly indoors to reduce the chances of contracting something dangerous. It is NOT a death sentence! FIV positive cats can live well into their teens and have a very normal life. If interested in adopting, start at CatsCT.org. Her spay appointment is January 8th but she is available as a foster to adopt until then and we'd love to finalize her adoption after!

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