I wanted a FIV cat when we were looking, as it was going to be an indoor cat. Went to a shelter and wanted to take every one of them home. Yeah pathetic, I know. In my defence each cat was so lovely and spent time with each one as I wanted to be sure as I wanted to be a forever home.
My last cat was FIV and he was a great cat. Weirdly it wasn’t the FIV that got him in the end.
