Virginia Domestic Long Hair New Britain, CT

Virginia is one in a million!

This beautiful double pawed, Maine Coon Mix girl was rescued from the harsh outdoors after losing all her babies. This love is just a baby herself but despite her challenged past, already has the most amazing personality. Although shy to start, Virginia has a very curious and playful side to her. Her days are quite busy, watching the aquariaums, enjoying some catnip and of course being side by side with some of her housemates.

Virginia is FIV + but trust us when we say this is not a reason to pass her by. The FIV virus is not transmissible to people or to non-cat species and is not a death sentence. It simply reduces a cat's immune system as the cat ages, which can leave the cat more vulnerable to other feline infections later in life. Cat to cat transmission does not occur with casual contact and it is not airborne. Cats who are FIV+ live long, happy lives! Please check out the below informational information about FIV to understand why it is not a reason to shy away from adopting this sweetheart:
