Paws for Life CoalitionYodel, from South Jersey, is about 4 and was living with a woman who had to be hospitalized after losing the use of her arms, then she went to a nursing home permanently.He and 15 others were taken by various groups in hopes to place them in loving homes. He is super sweet, very vocal and loves to hug your shoulders and nuzzle the under side of your chin. He holds his tail up high and walks with confidence. He is very social with humans and other cats. He greets all the new cats and is always saying "HI" to all the kitties, whether they want him to or not.
He has tested positive for FIV but does not have any symptoms. He is neutered, up to date with his shots, wormed, flea treated, and micro-chipped. Please contact Shellie at doglover9@aol.com or call 856-939-3007 to come and see him.
We would like to keep him within the local vicinity of South Jersey.
I'm trying to find a home for an FeLV + kitten named Orion. She is currently at the CASPCA in Virginia, where I also work. After being on hold for adoption for a while, the individual decided ultimately that she could not take her. She is a beautiful muted torti with green eyes and a very playful, jumpy personality. Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can get back with me by my email JKinley107@yahoo.com or my cell is 434.531.3995. Thank you,Jessica Kinley
I am in Charlotte NC, one of my rescuers has a white , blue eyed, deaf 4 months old kitten, Feline Leuk positive. Any help would be appreciated. Lori Saylor <losaylor@bellsouth.net>

Chester is a 7-year-old, male, neutered cat who is FIV+ and has hyperthyroidism. He is a rescue (I volunteer at the San Francisco SPCA - Feral Fix Program) and is in good health. He takes medication twice a day. I will provide medication (indefinitely) to the person(s) who adopt him. He is a brown/reddish tabby, and he is very loving and grateful.

I am emailing for the Animal Shelter of Schoharie Valley in Howes Cave, New York. We have had Minnie, a 1-2 year old, spayed female cat for about (without looking back in the book) 4-6 months. She is very sweet and playful. Minnie is FIV positive so she needs a home with no cats or other FIV positive cats. Also because she is FIV positive, Minnie must be kept indoors as not to give it to other cats. I googled FIV positive cat rescues and i had a hard time finding much or anything. If you know of any rescues for her or even a rescue to just post her it would really help as our shelter does not normally keep FIV positive cats. Minnie is just such a nice cat we want to try. Thanks for any help. Sincerely, Jillian Smith swiffer109@yahoo.com
I have rescued an FIV+ semi-Feral cat that needs to be placed somewhere. The neighborhood I rescued her from doesn't want her back and is refusing to feed her because they know she's positive and don't want her hanging around their property. Do you know of a sanctuary I can send her to? Please let me know asap, I am desperate to get this cat out of the cage. I am located in Westchester County, NY Joann Sullivan <joanns@princetonski.com> posted 6-07
This is a stray we took in
a few weeks ago, and immediately took to the vet to get checked.
Unfortunately, he’s been diagnosed with what the equivalent to human HIV,
which in cats is called FELV. He has the virus, but requires no medication,
and is young and in good health (you can see by his bright eyes and fluffy
fur!), so the doctor says if he can stay inside a relatively safe, stress free
environment, he could have many happy, healthy, cuddly, purry years ahead of
him!
He is just so wonderful and amazingly affectionate, and loves nothing better
than cuddle with you against your lap, rubbing his head against you while you
scratch his back and neck. We would LOVE to keep this really special kitty,
but we have three cats already at home and he definitely needs to be the ONLY
CAT in his home. He also needs to be an inside only kitty, so a sunny
windowsill in your home would be an added bonus!
Let me know if you are interested, know anyone who might be interested (or
know how to help us find a home for him!), or if you had any other questions
about his condition. We will help pay to get him neutered, and any other
medical expenses he might have. We just want to find him a “purrfect-match
forever home” as soon as possible. Just know that he can live happily and
safely with ANY other species—dog, bird, ferret, human, etc.
Please call or email me anytime at: 702-953-0475, marsamson@hotmail.com.
This little guy deserves a wonderful family, and I know that you will love
having this wonderful and affectionate friend in your life, too!
Hi, I have found a one year old extremely friendly kitty. Spayed and tested, her test came back positive for FIV. She is living outside right now, and I have attempted to find her a loving home with no luck. I have tried news paper ads, flyers, everything. I currently have 5 other cats and cannot bring her in and risk their health, as they are not the friendliest. This little kittie, is healthy and very very sweet and not aggressive and has the greatest personality too, won’t you open your home to her? lisaotis@optonline.net Long Island NY 631-289-7100
I do many cat rescues (over 100 in the past year) and I need help in finding a home for a friendly FELV+ cat: Chelsea is a Siamese Snowshoe mix with large round brilliant and expressive blue eyes. This 2 year old lives up to her breed’s description:Social…An Ideal Companion… Affectionate…Vigorous …Intelligent…Healthy…Habitats Well with Other Animals…Loves to be Around People…Vibrant and Alert…Active but not High Strung.
Visit http://www.geocities.com
/heartland/meadows/2595/puss _siamese.htm?20073 for more information on Snowshoes. They are known to live many healthy long years. Chelsea is completely healthy but recently contracted the Feline Leukemia virus. She has no signs of any infections and can live a healthy normal life for an average of 8-12 years if kept indoors and fed a nutritious diet. Her prior owner compromised her health by letter her go outside unvaccinated. She could just be a carrier of the virus—I plan on further testing as I have time. She is now current on all her vaccinations and was spayed around 6 months of age. She is also micro-shipped. I cannot keep her because I have a multi-cat household. She sleeps with me by placing her head on some part of my body. She is truly a real sweetie in Pittsburgh PA. Please contact me at my cell at 412-901-6371 or marie.santilli@citizensbank.com.
Freckles is a one year old female tortie cat that came to AZARS in April with eight kittens. She was found as a stray or an abandoned cat with four kittens of her own and four kittens she adopted when “their” mother abandoned them. It was easy to find a foster family for Freckles. She is a beautiful, loving cat that takes exceptional care of her babies and will purr at the slightest touch. Who wouldn’t want a cat like that?She was taken into the AZARS foster home along with all eight of “her” babies. As per the AZARS procedures, Freckles and her kittens were quarantined until she could be tested for Feline leukemia (FeLV) and the feline immune deficiency virus (FIV). When Freckles received her test, she tested positive for feline leukemia. While we at AZARS were hopeful that she may have had a false positive test, subsequent in depth testing confirmed that Freckles did indeed have the feline leukemia virus.While this was very bad news for the AZARS volunteers, the worst news was still to come. Transmission of the leukemia virus can also take place from an infected mother cat to her kittens, either before they are born or while they are nursing. When the kittens were old enough to be tested, all were found to be carrying the feline leukemia virus. Standard protocol for kittens that test positive for feline leukemia is to retest them after ninety days. This is done because a percentage of all infected kittens will be able to fight the virus and test negative, completely free from the virus. We are currently waiting to see how many of Freckle’s kittens will eventually test negative.What does this mean for AZARS and Freckles? Some organizations will simply euthanize animals that test positive or FeLV and FIV. After all there are hundreds of healthy animals that are being euthanized each month. Why should they spend the time, effort, and resources on these cats when there are so many\n other “healthy” cats in need? While that is a very logical and pragmatic solution to the problem, it doesn’t address the needs of the cat, or for that matter, the volunteers that love and foster these unwanted animals. \u003c/div\> \u003cdiv\>At AZARS our mission is to give every cat and kitten we take in a chance at life. We will continue to try to find homes for Freckles and her kittens and to do that, we will need your help. A home for Freckles will need to be a home without other, non-infected cats or other infected cats. FIV positive cats can also live with other dogs, as dogs are not able to get the virus. If you would like more information on how you can help provide a home or financial assistance for Freckles and her kittens, please contact Mandy at 480-503-3647 or send an email to \u003ca href\u003d\"mailto:hadleyd@cox.net\" target\u003d\"_blank\" onclick\u003d\"return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\"\>hadleyd@cox.net\u003c/a\>. \u003c/div\>",1]What does this mean for AZARS and Freckles?

Sweet and gentle, Layla is a grey & white Felv+ female cat who loves being scratched on her back. She doesn’t have an ounce of aggression in her personality and is as peaceful as a lamb. Once she’s at ease, she will curl up in your lap and absolutely bask in your love.
