I went out to Chesapeake Humane Society for Furry Friday this week where I met Pop Rock, who is up for adoption.

She is around 4 years old and recently had a litter of puppies.  They are all doing well and in foster care and now she is ready to find a home!

She has been in a home with other dogs and cats and coexists well. She loves all things family and affection and would make a great fit for any family!

I couldn’t resist visiting the cat room too where I met Cleo, short for Cleopatra. She is their longest resident and this girl is elegant and refined just like a queen.

She greeted me as soon as I walked in and jumped right in my lap!  She is FIV+ which stands for feline immunodeficiency virus. FIV typically causes a weakening of the cat’s immune system.

FIV is only contagious among cats and is difficult to transmit. It is also slow-acting, so cats generally do not show any symptoms until years after being infected. The amount of time it takes for the virus to make a cat become immune compromised can vary, but once symptomatic, FIV positive cats are more vulnerable to contracting other diseases. However, with the proper care, FIV positive cats can live healthy, happy lives.
