Chip

My story

Meet Chip, a 4-year-old feline with a mellow personality. He's a friendly soul, though a bit on the shy side. He prefers a slow approach, but once he warms up, his affectionate nature shines. Chip enjoys quiet moments, lounging around, and is always up for a gentle petting session. His unique quirk? He's not a fan of brooms. They seem to spook him a bit. Chip is FIV+. If you don't know what FIV is, it stands for feline immunodeficiency virus and typically causes a weakening of the cat’s immune system... only cats can get FIV, people and dogs cannot.    The most common route of infection is a deep bite wound from an FIV+ cat to another cat... they can live with other non FIV + cats- sharing food/litter/water without transmitting the disease onto other cats.    FIV  isn't a big deal... unfortunately many FIV+ cats are overlooked in shelters because people see this and think it's a terrible disease and the cats won't live long... However FIV+ cats can live long healthy lives just like other cats! There is no medication to treat an FIV+ positive cat. Adopting Chip means providing him a loving home where he can flourish, away from brooms, and filled with affection. Chip deserves a chance at a forever home, offering love and companionship to his new family.   Chip  is also part of the Take A Chance On Me Program. This means his adoption fee has been reduced  for the right home. If you are interested in adopting, applications can be found on our website www.ahimsahaven.org.    Meet and greets are with an approved application by appointment only.   As always, cats that are ready to be adopted are spayed/neutered, have age appropriate shots, are micro-chipped, dewormed/deflead, and FEL/FIV tested.June 26, 2025, 8:22 am
