In 2006, Purrfect Pals created FIV Land, a first-of-its-kind sanctuary devoted to cats with feline immunodeficiency virus, specifically to highlight these special cats and encourage people to adopt them. Until recently, most shelters euthanized cats who tested positive for this virus. In the first full year of operations, Purrfect Pals adopted almost 60 FIV+ cats, which at that time was more than double any other shelter.
FIV Land is still a wonderful, bright and happy place where FIV+ kitties can roam, stretch, and play. It’s also a favorite place for volunteers to visit and play with kitties.
