Chewy & Mama

Seeking forever home!! <br/><br/>Chewy & Mama<br/><br/>These two are a mother and son bonded FIV+ pair <br/><br/>Chewy is about 4 years old and his mother is around 6! <br/>They love to be together and she still "mothers" him?<br/><br/>What is FIV<br/>Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a lentivirus, like HIV, that affects cats around the world. The virus attacks and compromises a cat’s immune system, making FIV positive cats more susceptible to infection. FIV is often confused with Feline Leukemia Virus (FelV). While Feline Leukemia can also cause immunosuppression, Feline Leukemia also leads to the development of cancers, anemia, and kidney disease.<br/><br/>FIV is only contagious among cats and difficult to transmit. It is also slow-acting, so cats generally do not show any symptoms until years after being infected. The amount of time it takes for the virus to make a cat become immune compromised can vary, but once symptomatic, FIV positive cats are more vulnerable to contracting other diseases. However, with the proper care, FIV positive cats can live healthy, happy lives.<br/><br/>Though there is no known cure, FIV is far from a death sentence for FIV+kitties. They have weaker immune systems, but cats who test positive for FIV can live fulfilling and happy lives like any other cats, and can live for many, many years! <br/><br/>These two have been searching for a home to call their own and would make the perfect addition to any family?
