In the shelter’s words

My name is Pawla and I am quite the gorgeous girl. I enjoy being around people but prefer a quiet environment. I would be happy to get all the attention from you so I would be best as an only cat. I need to live indoors full time since I am FIV+. But don't worry, I am not contagious and I am a healthy girl. If you are interested in sharing your life with me submit an application at chathamanimalrescue.org. Read below about FIV. What is FIV? Feline Immunodeficiency Virus(FIV) is a virus that attacks the immune system of cats. There is no treatment or cure. FIV is a cat-only disease and cannot be transmitted to people or dogs. FIV+ cats should be kept indoors to prevent exposure to illness, sterilized and fed a balanced diet. They should be seen by a veterinarian at least once a year to ensure their ongoing good health. Transmission: FIV is passed from cat to cat mainly through deep bite wounds, the kind that occur during fights and territorial disputes involving feral and unsterilized males. Casual, social behavior such as sharing a water/food bowl and mutual grooming will NOT spread FIV. There is no evidence that cats in the household with an FIV+ cat will acquire FIV from the FIV+ cat. Lifespan: Multiple medical studies show that cats who are FIV+ live just as long as FIV negative cats. FIV itself does not cause severe clinical signs, and FIV+ cats can live many years without any health problems. For additional information contact your veterinarian.
