FIV+ Cats
Picture
​FIV INFORMATION:
There are a number of reputable websites that discuss FIV, including the many myths regarding this virus.  It is no longer a reason for euthanasia and these cats are often the most loving of any felines found at area shelters once they are in a home where they can feel relaxed. Please take a moment to read one of more of the following if you would like to learn more, talk with your veterinarian or message me (Adopt Charleston Cats) with your questions.

It is also important to note that if a cat has ever received the FIV Vaccine, they will test positive for the virus.  Many veterinarians today no longer recommend the vaccination especially in those cats who will always be indoors and not exposed to the possibility of being in contact and fighting with cats who are positive.  Discuss this possibility with your veterinarian if you adopt a rescue who has tested positive and the cat has not exhibited any of the typical illnesses that are seen in FIV+ cats.

​Adopt Charleston Cats highlights some of the cats and kittens currently in the care of Charleston Animal Society, Pet Helpers, and Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary located in Charleston County, South Carolina. More are available for adoption, but we will show a few that are either on an adoption floor, Pounce Cat Cafe + Wine Bar, available for adoption from their foster home, or soon to be available for adoption. We also highlight adoptable felines available through individuals (primarily rescuers/TNR) and these animals are fully vetted. Periodically, we will also highlight kittens and cats available for adoption through agencies from surrounding counties.
Please consider adoption by visiting each facilities' website to learn how you can visit and meet your next furry friend or contact us to be connected to a rescuer.  
Thank you for looking.
