I'm seeing a lot of doubt about adopting FIV+ kitties lately... please just know, it is possible to have an FIV+ cat and still have a good life together!

Sure, there is no guarantee and they can be hard work.. but we've had Axl for more than 4 years now, and he has had a couple of health declines but with the right treatment he's overall been having a great second shot at life. He was about 6 at the time of adoption (left) and FIV+ for who knows how long before that. He has 3 (vaccinated) feline siblings, all remain unaffected. Watching and helping him come back to life was an incredible journey and I would not change a thing (although if he didn't have it in the first place that would've been pretty cool). He's been the most grateful cat I've ever met and he gives me thank you cuddles every chance he gets. Him and I both appreciate how lucky he is and that feeling is what makes it all worth it. Please just know, if they are FIV+ it does not mean that you and the cat can not have a fulfilling life together, no matter the time frame.

What’s wrong with my cat?

She’s 15. I keep my door cracked so she can come in or out on her own. Up until recently she would pull the door open to leave, but now she acts like she doesn’t know how to do that. She will jump about 2 feet to jump on the bed, but won’t jump 4 feet anymore to get her to her wet food. Could it just be attributed to old age or something more serious like dementia?

Kitten vs his Nemesis

To be fair, I did tell him to pick on someone his own size! 🫢😼

My cat is shaped weird

My boy likes to cuddle and will make biscuits while drooling. I though he would grow out of it but he's 4 now 🤷🏼

May Trigger some** loss of a beloved pet……….

(Leftpic)This is me at 8 years old with my Siamese cat… he’s about a year old in that photo.. I would snuggle with him every night and he would sleep in my arms till morning… my beautiful boy had a long happy life, and lived for 23 years- when he passed I was obviously grown and had moved out of my moms house- my brother called me and told me that Genghis was dying- I dropped everything and drove the hour drive to my parents- when I got there he was laying on the floor just barely breathing… I picked him up and cradled him like a baby… he look at me, meowed, then died in my arms… I honestly think he waited for me to let go.. I was his person, I was his pet. RIP my sweet boy. On the right is the last picture I took of him 🥹
