Adopt Informations concernant le Sida du chat (FIV)

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

In October 2017, Papychat arrived at the shelter after many years of wandering. Unfortunately, Papychat was never adopted because he has accidents outside the litter... He is still at the shelter. Like all our cats when they arrive at the care center, they are systematically identified, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and tested for feline AIDS and leukemia. Therefore, Papychat was "in order" and was specifically tested negative for feline AIDS and leukemia. Recently, Papychat had a blood test and we took the opportunity to retest him for feline AIDS and leukemia three years after the first test. It turns out that Papychat is still negative for feline AIDS and leukemia. However, in the cattery where he has lived for three years, he has been in contact with dozens of cats positive for feline AIDS. The cats eat from the same bowls and sleep in the same baskets and even groom each other (80% of the cats in the cattery are FIV+). We therefore want to show you that it is time to stop dramatizing cats that are carriers of feline AIDS. Every week, we have abandonment requests concerning cats just because they are FIV+. We remind you that feline AIDS is transmitted only between cats and the mode of contamination occurs only during sexual contact and/or deep bite with an exchange of saliva and blood. So STOP prejudices, many FIV+ cats are waiting for a home at the shelter but unfortunately, feline AIDS discourages many adoption families.

En octobre 2017, Papychat est arrivé au refuge après de nombreuses années d’errance. Malheureusement, Papychat n’a jamais été adopté car il fait ses besoins en dehors de la litière… Il est donc toujours au refuge. Comme tous nos chats à leur arrivée au centre de soins, ils sont systématiquement identifiés, stérilisés, vaccinés, déparasités et testés pour le sida du chat et la leucose. Papychat a donc été « mis en règle » et il a été notamment testé négatif au SIDA du chat et à la leucose. Dernièrement, Papychat a fait une prise de sang de contrôle et nous en avons profité pour refaire son test SIDA et leucose 3 ans après le premier test. Il s’avère que Papychat est toujours négatif au SIDA du chat et à la leucose. Pourtant, dans la chatterie où il vit depuis 3 ans, il a été en contact avec des dizaines de chats positifs au SIDA du chat. Les chats mangent dans les mêmes gamelles et dorment dans les mêmes paniers et se font même la toilette mutuellement (80% des chats de la chatterie sont FIV+). Nous voulons donc vous montrer qu’il faut arrêter de dramatiser les chats porteurs du SIDA, toutes les semaines nous avons des demandes d’abandons concernant des chats juste parce qu’ils sont porteurs du FIV … Nous rappelons que le SIDA du chat ne se transmet qu’entre les chats et que le mode de contamination ne se fait que lors de rapport sexuel et/ou par morsure profonde avec un échange de salive et de sang Alors STOP aux préjugés, beaucoup de chats FIV+ attendent un foyer au refuge mais malheureusement le SIDA du chat rebute énormément de familles d’adoption.

Frequently asked

How do I contact the shelter about Informations concernant le Sida du chat (FIV)?

Can I adopt Informations concernant le Sida du chat (FIV) if I live in another country?

What happens if Informations concernant le Sida du chat (FIV) isn't the right fit?

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
