Hey - I agree - but I do have a question about mixing FELV+ cats with
FIV+ cats - are the compromised immune systems putting the FIV cats
at risk?
Gloria
I really don't understand the big deal everyone is making about mixing FIV+
cats with negative ones. It's not that easy to transmit the FIV cat to cat.
It takes a bite.
We currently have an FIV+ cat who has lived inside with our negative cats
for several years. This is our 2nd FIV+ cat. We've never had any issues
with the others being infected. In fact, my 17 year old has been around
both of our FIV+ males & he's negative & healthy (except for the usual
geriatric cat stuff)!
I keep seeing all these cats for adoption that are FIV+ & people not wanting
to mix them. I think this is crazy. These cats deserve better.
I've been wanting to get that off my chest for a while. So there...I've
said it!

Subject: FIV+ sites?
Hi Everyone,
A little while ago there was some discussion about mixing FIV+ cats
in with FIV- ones and several people posted some great resources/web
sites. Unfortuanately, I can't find those posts anywhere:(
I have just had a request for info from someone who can't find a home
for an FIV+ cat (very gentle) and is afraid to mix it with her own.
If anyone could repost thise sites so that I can pass them along, I'd
greatly appreciate it.
Karen
