She is actually about 6 years old, and her life expectancy is shortened by 5 to 8 years due to the disease. Yes, this grown man cried at the news.

WHY ARE YOU SMILING

Wrong key. Thanks.

Well, that stinks.

I didn't even know that that existed. D:

Unfortunately, yes. So, with outdoor cats that are prone to territorial spats, FIV gets spread rather quickly. Whoever booted this lap cat out onto the streets was an idiot.

;~; Very sad..

I just keep holding her every now and then, and talk to her whenever she talks to me. I'm taking her next Sat and Sun to the mall, to an adoption event. She will be kept away from other kitties, and tagged as FIV+.

If we get really lucky, we will find someone who has another, or more, FIV+ kitties, and room for her.

That's just so sad...why does it have to happen ;n;

It didn't. If she had been kept indoors, away from territorial, feral, cats, it most likely would not have happened. FIV is a worldwide feline virus, with only about 3.5% of all cats infected. At 6 yrs old, she's still a lap baby.

Nooooo ;n;

She's pretty pampered right now, as you might expect. Mixed wet and dry food, three times a day. Lots of hug time, but no free running time in the house - too risky to my three kitties.
