Meet Kringle

KRINGLE is a newer arrival in our FIV room. He is about two years old, with solid black, long, thick, soft fur. He is one of the furriest cats we have ever had. His thick fur also gives him a delightful owl-like look with those big yellow eyes.

He is also one of the friendliest, most lovable kitties. He loves people, belly rubs, eating, getting underfoot, and playing with whomever he can get to join in the fun. He is the unofficial welcoming committee for all new arrivals in our special room.

Since he is so young, he should have many years of good health. He needs to be kept inside so as not to compromise his immune system. He should either be housed with other FIV kitties or remain the only cat of the house. However, Kringle would probably do best with a few playmates, having lived with our gang here. If you have some FIV+ cats who would like a wrestling partner, come on over and meet this guy.

FIV Facts: 1. The Feline Immunodeficiency Virus is a slow virus that affects a cat's immune system over a period of years.
2. FIV is a cat-only disease and cannot be spread to humans or other non-felines.
3. FIV cats most often live long, healthy, and relatively normal lives with no symptoms at all.
4. FIV is not easily passed between cats. It cannot be spread casually - like in litter boxes, water and food bowls, or when snuggling and playing. It is rarely spread from a mother to her kittens.
5. The virus can be spread through blood transfusions, badly infected gums, or serious, penetrating bite wounds. (Bite wounds of this kind are extremely rare, except in free-roaming, unneutered tomcats.)
6. A neutered cat, in a home, is extremely unlikely to infect other cats, if properly introduced.
7. Many vets are not educated about FIV since the virus was only discovered 15 years ago.
8. FIV-positive cats should be kept as healthy as possible. Keep them indoors and free from stress, feed them a high-quality diet, keep and treat any secondary problems as soon as they arise.
