FIV-POSITIVE CATS

MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER
ADOPTING ONE!

“ Being involved with cat rescue alongside Monika's DoggieRescue
we are finding a number of cats we screen are FIV positive like little
6 months old Logan below. This means they are carrying the Feline
Immunodeficiency Virus, and this scares a lot of people and so these
cats get overlooked while their FIV negative friends get adopted.” Dee

1. FIV is not transmissible to Ginger/
humans! White Male

2. FIV is about as transmissible CLICK
as HIV - not very. Cats in the HERE
same household cannot transmit
the disease from one to another •
except by mating behaviour or
by inflicting bite wounds (not
typical even among housemates
who don't like each other
much ). FIV can also be passed
in utero and from milk from an
infected mother cat.

3. Cats with FIV can live very
long, happy lives.

TAKE CARE OF ALL CATS

AT HALLOWEEN!

Black cats are a well-known symbol of the “scary” things associated with Halloween. Did you know that
sources attribute that to two (not too intelligent) men in the middle-ages, when they thought that an old
single woman was capable of turning into a black cat, and that is how witches and black cats were aligned.

Black cats do not deserve the
“unlucky” or “evil” labels that
people with superstitions may
use. We all know that the
colour of a kitty cannot affect
its behaviour and that “cat
people” do not exist other than
the people who love caring for
kitties in rescue shelters!

Happily today we now treat
Halloween, black cats and
witches with a sense of
humour and fun.

honour the departed. Just on any firecracker night, or on New Year’s Eve with the fireworks,

I don’t know what
my family would
do without me to
amuse them...LOL

By Deb Rouse

Fun attributes of black cats:
• Black is always “in” and

considered stylish and
sophisticated
• You can boast to people you own
a baby panther or jaguar!
• Black fur shouldn’t show on your
black dress, black jumper, black
furniture, black…

Well established fact about black
cats: they are least likely to be
adopted because of superstitions
and also as they are not easy to
photograph well.

How could anything so beautiful…
be LESS ADOPTABLE?

In Scotland, they believe a strange black cat turning up on your door step is a sign of prosperity to come,
in British fishing villages wives kept a black cat to ensure their husbands safely returned from sea trips,
and in Japan black cats are just generally considered good luck… let’s all follow these beliefs and
welcome a new black kitty to our home!

Help us to find these lovely black kitties a new loving forever family….
