Betty

My story

Here's Betty! FIV+ Sweetheart! Betty is a sweetheart brown tabby kitty, about 5 years old. She is very calm, loves sitting on laps, purrs constantly and can be handled easily. She also really likes kids! ❤️ And there is a secret about Betty that gets revealed when you pet her! She kneads with her little front paws AND while she kneads, she sucks on whatever is near her mouth... a blanket, your shirt, anything like this! 😻 ❤️ 😻 I attached a video... play it with sound if you can : ) Betty has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. She tested positive for FIV, unfortunately, which is a cat disease that affects the immune system. It is transmitted between cats most often through very deep, bloody bite wounds, but not through normal play nor sharing bowls or litter boxes. Shelters often adopt out FIV+ cats that are otherwise healthy. With an indoor, relatively stress-free environment, FIV+ cats can live normal healthy lives. Betty has been with us for 2 years and she has never shown any symptoms of upper respiratory nor any other illness. ❤️ She is currently living in a foster home. Betty is a quiet, tidy, gentle cat. She is comfortable around people, but she is initially cautious around other cats. She lives with another cat in her foster home. Please feel free to share this post. Let's find Betty a good home!
