Java
Meet Java, a friendly, energetic 5 year old pittie mix. Java is around 45 pounds and is a sweet, wiggly, playful girl. She is housebroken and crate trained and nondestructive when she's loose in the house.
Java loves people, especially kids! She pulls a bit on the leash out of excitement, but would probably quickly improve with a bit of practice in a front-attach harness.

Lip
Lip is a sweet brown and white tabby boy, two years old, with a cute pink nose. Lip can be shy but shows great lovebug potential. He needs an experienced cat owner who's willing to give him the extra special attention he needs to come around and be the awesome kitty he is.
His former owner did not give him the special treatment he needed, so he retreated and withdrew. We are working hard to bring him back to his potential. He is a super sweet, loving cat that needs that special chance to come out of his shell and show all of his love.

Max, Toby, Simba
Three adorable, sweet, loving male kittens ready for adoption. Through no fault of their own, they are FIV+.
What if kittens test positive for FIV?
Kittens that test positive for FIV probably do NOT have FIV! Kittens born to an FIV mother will inherit her antibodies, but not usually the virus. A mother cat with FIV will have FIV antibodies which are produced by her immune system in response to the virus. When pregnant, she will pass these antibodies to her kittens through the blood, but she will not pass the virus, which will not cross the placenta. The virus is also present in the mother's milk, and yet it is rare that the kittens actually get the virus from their mother (this also shows how hard it is to transmit the virus across the mucous membrane, indicating that the virus is NOT very contagious).Because the usual test for FIV actually looks for the antibodies and not the virus, a kitten from an FIV mother can get a positive test result without any virus being present.
As the kittens grow, they will gradually lose their inherited protection and will then test negative. This can take several months, the actual time varies between kittens, so any FIV positive test is not reliable until the kitten is at least six months old, and possibly older.
