#fiv

WHITE CAT WEDNESDAY!

Violet is 2 years 2 months-old and sponsored by Alex Huie. SNAP Cats rescued Violet from San Bernardino, CA. Violet was found in a small colony of stray cats in San Bernardino covered in mange. She was taken to a local rescue called PawLove.org, where Kimberly treated Violet for mange, got her spayed and up to date on vaccines, and that’s when they learned Violet is FIV+. Kimberly’s organization doesn’t normally adopt out cats (they help where we can with the homeless animal population and those that need them), so she reached out to us.

We think Violet will thrive in a quieter environment with fewer kitties. Right now she’s a bit skittish, but once she gets to knows you she loves pets and attention. So we’d like to find a new home for Violet ASAP.

If you can give Violet a new home please fill out an adoption application at https://www.snapcats.org/category/adoption/catsforadoption/. Thanks.

y más que cansada, agotada.

De ver cómo se agotan los intentos,

de cargar el peso de un quizá,

de ver cómo otras sí,

y tú, todavía, no.

Yo sé que te ves calmada,

pero por dentro

tu cuerpo reclama: ¡Basta!

y no cesa de preguntar: ¿Hasta cuando?

y que nadie note

que por dentro estés rota

porque por fuera

tu cuerpo se ve intacto.

Yo sé que tienes temor

de que ésta no sea la última vez,

de que a pesar de ser la tercera,

no sea la vencida,

de que vuelva todo a ser como siempre

y al final tengas el mismo desenlace:

un negativo que te arrebata toda positividad.

Yo sé cómo te consume ver a otras mujeres

luciendo felices su tripita de embarazo

mientras los ojos de tu alma lloran

por no verte igual al mirarte al espejo.

Yo sé lo que es tener que inventarte la respuesta de antemano a la típica pregunta idiota; ¿Y tú para cuando?

Sé lo que es asentir sin muchas ganas cuando te dicen: “Cuando menos lo esperes, llega.”

Y sé lo que jode que te digan que para la edad que tienes ya deberías tenerlos y responder con una amabilidad aplastantemente dolorosa: ¿Acaso me los vas a mantener tú?

Yo sé lo que es que te duela la culpa más que el pinchazo.

El silencio que guardas en la boca más que el mentir diciendo que estás bien.

La sangre anunciándote que otro mes más no se pudo.

Los síntomas de la medicación que te hacen sentir que lo estás sin estarlo.

Y entre todas esas cosas que sé,

sé que no es nada fácil ser tú,

sé que eres más valiente de lo que piensas,

y sé que aunque te hayas querido rendir más de una vez no lo has hecho.

Porque tú eres tú,

porque tú eres yo.

Porque si no tenemos fuerzas las inventamos,

porque sabemos que es mayor el gozo venidero

que el sufrimiento momentáneo.

Porque tenemos la certeza de que todas esas lágrimas no fueron derramadas en vano,

de que se nos va a dar,

de que la vida no nos puede arrebatar la vida.

Y tal vez no sea hoy, ni mañana.

Pero será.

Y cuando sea será el día más feliz de tu vida.

The better term to use for cat AIDs would be FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). So—For the people getting the wrong idea, no! Bunni's cat did NOT get it from humans, nor can it be transfered to other species— it's biologically impossible. FIV acts like HIV and attacks the immune system, you might also hear it be called cat HIV.

Similar ≠ Same

Yes, this is all correct! My vet(I live in the south) personally called it cat aids(most likely to help us better understand what it was) so that’s the term I’ve been using!

We have two other cats that have also been bitten in the past(we DID use to let them outside, but stopped once we were informed about the dangers of letting them out). Our vet said because they were bitten, they most likely also have FIV.

He said that there’s probably an outbreak among the strays, and that’s how they got it.

I would get them individually tested but it’s $160+ per test. For us, that’s a lot of money and our vet said it’s unnecessary because the likelihood of them having it is very high.

I personally would like to test and possibly rehome any of our cats that don’t have it… but that’s not a possibility for us rn. Sad, but that’s the truth of the situation.

This is why it is imperative to keep your cats indoors and I will always be an advocate for that. Not only can they get run over, attacked, or infected with disease, but cats can also become a public nuisance. They eat native wildlife, attack other cats and get them sick, and so much more.

Kittens are born on the street, sickly and dying of disease. Baby kittens, barely old enough to have babies of their own become mothers during their first heat. We have a terrible stray problem, I see kittens that have been run over everywhere.

I would like to start some kind of program to TNR(trap, neuter, release), but I don’t know where to start. Our town has no funds, and northern Louisiana SUUUCKS!

“Princess?”

“That’s what you call yourself all the time, no? And it fits you. Dainty, fragile, always makes me fight for them.” They grinned, glancing at Chuuya like he gave them free bait.

“I suppose that makes you my Prince Charming then?” Dazai leaned forward, teasing at Chuuya’s choker with an absentminded care. They pretended not to notice the shiver it caused, at least for now.

”Knight in shining armor.” Chuuya rolled his eyes, smacking Dazai’s hands away. This did the complete opposite of deterring them, instead pressing Dazai to remove the choker entirely. “Oi what are you-“

“I don’t think my dear knight should be wearing his armor so long in this weather. It wouldn’t be good for his wonderful skin.~” Dazai‘s Cheshire grin only widened, hands dropping down to Chuuya’s gloves.

“You’re a freak…” But for some reason he didn’t push away. A part of him felt a buzz in his chest, but he could think about it later.

“The best kind of princess, don’t you agree?”

“I don’t think you fit the bill of Princess anymore.” Chuuya watched as Dazai stood and approached him in one fluid motion, kneeling by where he laid on the couch. He wrapped his fingers around Chuuya’s wrists, bringing them together despite the angle of his arms.

“Very true. I don’t suppose a Princess could do this?” But before he could protest his gloves being removed, Dazai bit.

Ending the day with some Apricot snuggles! ✨🥰
