I Knew Fiv Cats Have Less Chance To Get Adopted, S..

“I knew FIV+ cats have less chance to get adopted, so I decided to help him to have a home forever.” – Thungyah’s adopter.

Thungyah was found abandoned in a rice field not far from the Soi Dog shelter in 2019.

He was just a few weeks old at the time and, without the round-the-clock care only a mother cat or foster carer can provide, he’d fallen victim to a number of health issues, including cat flu, dermatitis and a swollen, infected eye.

He also tested positive for the incurable feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) which made it challenging for him to find him a home, despite his gentle personality and cute wink.

However, a chance meeting in our cattery turned everything around for Thungyah. His adopter fell in love as soon as she saw him, and he joined her at her home in Samut Prakan, Thailand, in December 2022 after more than three years at the shelter.

For his health and the health of the other cats in the community, FIV+ Thungyah stays indoors, and his adopter makes sure there’s always plenty of enrichment for him there – toys, multiple beds, immunity-boosting treats and cat grass to name just a few examples!
