FIV-Positive Kittens

I mean, come on! Look at these adorable babies! Both of these female kittens are 2 months old and are ready to adopted. Easy, right? <br/><br/>Well, both have tested positive for FiV. They could be testing positive because of antibodies from their mother and may not actually be infected with the virus. A retest after 6-months would be more definitive. <br/><br/>Even with FIV, which can weaken their immune system over time, many cats live long, fun-filled lives. But often kittens and cats are not adopted because people are afraid or do not understand how the virus is spread. <br/><br/>FIV cannot be transmitted to people or other non-feline animals and cannot spread through casual contact between cats. Talk to your vet if you have questions or concerns. <br/><br/>Don't leave these two cuties hanging! They deserve a loving home, just like any other cat. They do not have to be adopted together! <br/><br/><br/>We do NOT respond to PetFinder inquires; we only respond to emails sent to adopt@scituateanimalshelter.org regarding adoption inquires. <br/><br/>We never know how quickly a pet will be adopted. Therefore, if you are interested in a pet but want to see them during our shelter open hours prior to filling out an application, we strongly recommend that you email us at adopt@scituateanimalshelter.org before visiting the shelter to ensure they are still there. <br/><br/>Open hours are Wednesdays 1:30-6pm, and Saturdays and Sundays 10am-2pm for you to come view our adoptable pets. You can apply for animal at the shelter during our open hours or online by emailing adopt@scituateanimalshelter.org and asking for an application. Adoption fees allow our non-profit to continue to help pets in need. <br/><br/>Meet and greets with animals are scheduled after applications have been processed and we’ve determined you are the best fit. We do not operate on a first come, first served basis.
