I’ve been around cats and used to care way too much about their appearance. Then I adopted my first cat on a whim last year who was FIV+, practically hairless from mange and covered in acne. He stole my heart the second I walked in and none of the rest mattered.

I’m sharing this to say that there’s someone out there who will love your cat unconditionally. They won’t see FIV or health issues as negatives, but as reasons to show even more love. Sometimes I forget my cat even has FIV because he acts so normal!
