Jinx - FIV+
Domestic Medium Hair · Young (9 months) · Female · Leesburg, VA
Notes from The Feline Foundation of Greater Washington, Inc.
Jinx is a gorgeous girl with a sweet personality and a playful streak. She loves wand toys, neck scratches, and a good window where she can keep an eye on everything happening outside.
When she's not busy watching the birds or chasing a toy, Jinx can usually be found curled up on a soft blanket. She enjoys spending time with her people and has an adorable little meow that always seems to get a smile in return. She loves to be pet and is growing more affectionate in her foster home.
Jinx brings a nice mix of playfulness and companionship to a home. She's happy to join in when it's time for fun and equally happy to settle in nearby when the day winds down.
--------------------------------
The FIV virus is not a reason not to adopt! It is not transmissible to people or to non-cat
species and is not a death sentence.
It simply reduces a cat's immune system as the cat
ages, which can leave the cat more vulnerable to other feline infections later in life.
Cat to cat transmission does not occur with casual contact and it is not airborne.
Cats who are FIV+ live long, happy lives! Please check out the below informational links about FIV to understand why it is not a reason to shy away from adopting:
