Complete An Adoption Application

CURRENTLY IN FOSTER

Hi my name is Vivian. I am FIV+ and positively adoptable! I found myself at a big county shelter which was pretty scary for a petite girl such as myself. Lucky for me King Street Cats came to my rescue. I have been spending my time in a fabulous foster home. I love to snuggle and cuddle up in a nice lap. My foster mom calls me her little snuggle bug, whatever that means. I love to greet her by rubbing my face on her face and being held close. Once she sits down I climb in her lap for cuddle time.  I also love to play!  I like mice, balls and I recently discovered the fish game on my foster moms iPad. Boy is that fun. I would be fine with another mellow kitty as I have spent time with one of the other foster kitties in my foster home. 

When I was alone on the streets I had to defend myself from agressive cats competing for resources and one of those cats must have bitten me deeply. I am FIV+. Don't stop reading here, because I am "Positively Adoptable." 

FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. It is *not* human HIV. Humans *cannot* catch FIV. Dogs *cannot* catch FIV. KSC has adopted out many FIV+ kitties who are now living happily as cherished family members. 

FIV is spread from cat to cat by means of deep-puncture bite wounds - something that's not hard to imagine in a situation where cats have to struggle to get what they need to survive.

It means that at some point I may, or may not, develop a heightened susceptibility to the ailments that we all face regularly. 

This is the "extra" that I ask of you in order to keep me healthy:

• Feed me a healthy, high quality high protein/grain free (preferably wet food only, because this is so much healthier than dry food)
• Keep me indoors and away from combative cats
• Establish a relationship with a trusted veterinarian (who is enlightened about FIV).
• Bring me to my vet regularly and any time when you notice that I'm not feeling or acting like myself (this means getting to know me well enough to understand what "acting like myself" means)

That's it. Wait, what? Yes, that's it. You'd do that for any cat you brought into your family, so I know you'll be able to do it for me.
