Description:
FIV+ FELV+DOB: 2/27/2021 *Bonded to Gordito* Hey there, I'm Angelo. Although my fur may be as pure as the clouds in the sky, my journey has been anything but ordinary. You see, I have feline leukemia, but that doesn't define me. It just makes me all the more special! I’m a social butterfly, always ready to strike up a conversation with anyone who crosses my path. Whether it's a gentle meow or a hearty purr, I love to chat and share my thoughts with the world. One of the biggest misconceptions about feline leukemia, which suppresses a cat’s immune system, is that it is an automatic death sentence. There are many variables, however, that come into play that determine how FeLV will affect a particular cat.

They do take special care in terms of monitoring them for signs of infection. FIV can be passed from cat to cat via deep bite wounds, but not from casual contact so positive cats can live with negative cats without the fear of spreading FIV as long as they get along and are spayed/neutered.
