I first leaned about FIV Cat Rescue when I was searching online for information about FIV cats. I am a volunteer at a Non Profit shelter in Connecticut and we have recently taken in three FIV cats. I was hoping to find information resources to help us educate potential adopters about FIV. The materials were well done and presented information in a clear, attractive and professional manner. I reached out by email to this organization to ask permission to use their materials. I heard right back from Frankie who was very friendly and encouraging about the adoptability of FIV cats and not only gave our shelter permission to use any materials they have developed but included the PDF versions ready for printing. One of the best resources was an actual “script” for introducing a potential adopter to an FIV cat. What a great resource this organization is to other shelters to who have FIV cats in their population but she is also helping to educate others about FIV and therefore potentially saving these poor cats who might otherwise have no chance at a loving home.
A huge "thank you" to Frankie and FIV Cat Rescue. I volunteer with Tip Me Frederick, Inc., a TNRM group in Frederick, MD (outside of Baltimore/DC) and we currently have three FIV+ kitties in our foster homes. I have one of them (the tuxedo pictured below) and we had an Adoption Fair last Saturday. I needed information about FIV to laminate for the public to read. I found Frankie's website, emailed her and she immediately send me great posters for printing and laminating. I am so encouraged that groups like her's are out there now. It used to be that we would just euthanize FIV and FELV kitties without even giving them a chance. I feel like I have a new friend in the world of cat rescue, and I am grateful for their hard work.

Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad we were able to provide educational materials for your adoption efforts. Saving FIV and other cats is a team effort. Together with others like you, we can debunk the FIV myths and get these cats the forever homes they so deserve!
