FIV does not mean she is sick or that she can't have a long, happy life. She is not on daily medication for FIV, and the virus is primarily spread through serious bite wounds rather than ordinary friendly interaction. For that reason, we'd ideally like to find her a home with other FIV-positive cats or as the only cat in the household.<br/><br/>She could also benefit from a dental, something that isn't unusual for FIV-positive cats, and we'll make sure her new family understands her needs.<br/><br/>But here's what Mama Anna really needs:<br/><br/>A person who isn't afraid of giving a cat with a complicated beginning a beautiful ending.<br/><br/>She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and finally flea- and worm-free.<br/><br/>She's been through enough.<br/><br/>Now she deserves the easy stuff.<br/><br/>A sunny window.<br/>A soft bed.<br/>Someone who talks to her.<br/>Someone who keeps their promises.<br/><br/>And maybe a person who will look at that sweet face every day and remind her:<br/><br/>"You weren't left behind. You were found."<br/><br/>Mama Anna didn't get the life she deserved the first time around.<br/><br/>We're going to make sure she gets it this time.
