<p dir="ltr">Hi, FIV is not the horrid disease that some people think it is. I'm glad the shelter allowed you to adopt these cats. The main thing is that they live stress-free and have good food, clean water and plenty of love. I did FIV rescue for many years. Most of the cats lived to be 14 to 16 years old without any major illness and passed from kidney failure and old age. The best FIV group is the FIV2 group, if it still exists. I still have one FIV+ cat who was slated for death at the Humane Society 12 years ago but the adoption coordinator knew I was aware that these cats could live long, healthy lives so she called me and we traded one of my adoptable foster cats for the FIV cat she had at the shelter. As long as your cats are neutered or spayed they won't pass on the disease, even if they live with cats that do not have it. FIV is passed on from deep bites during mating and fighting during mating so you really do not have to keep fixed cats separate. Good luck with your two fur kids.</p>
