FIV Profiles
9 (FIV) livesWe have selected nine examples from the FIV cats who have lived in the sanctuary. We have chosen each as an example of how well FIV cats can do - some have other problems to deal with on top of the virus.
Okay, so there are now 10 - we just had to add Plucky!
Harry
Harry was our very first FIV cat, who came to us in 1997. He needed a dental in 2002, which was his only illness. Harry died in his sleep in 2005.
