In this episode I chat to Deny from Support FIV.
Deny works online networking to try and match potential adopters with FIV cats who may otherwise be left in shelters waiting for a home. This work is done across America, Canada and Dubai.
Having experience of an FIV cat herself with her own cat Basel she realised that with her knowing so little about FIV she had to learn and so started to research about the virus and in turn started educating others along the way.
With so many myths about FIV and people being told false truths Deny felt it was important to spread the words that FIV cats can live healthy lives, can live safely with other cats and can live just the same as other cats in their household.
FIV is not a death sentence for cats and need not be either. If people knew more about this virus and in a positive light then they may be more willing to adopt FIV cats and give them a chance at life.
Please check out Deny's Instagram page @supportfiv and please consider adopting an FIV cat from a shelter where you may be their last chance.
Thanks for listening
