I am sure Nichola will keep his name. She kept Sunny as a name for her last FIV. In any case as we pay vet bills for anything related to FIV Gershwin will be registered in that name.

This si really good news, even though I don't know thw whole story cos of my special interest in the FIV cats it's always good to know someone somewhere is taking them in too.

Just out of curiosity Ela - when you say pay for anything FIV related, what would that cover? Obviously not the routine vacc/flea/worm, or accidents, but is there a guideline for what would be classed as covered or not?

Just out of interest, if you don't mind me asking!

 Of course I don't mind you asking.

Often dentals or mouth probs which FIV cats tend to suffer more from than others, also absolute any problem that the vet feels is FIV related and perhaps would not occur had the cat not been FIV. Sorry cannot be more specific than that. However we (me, as it is my decision) are pretty flexible as at least the FIV cats has a chance of a home and we have space for another.

That is correct hopefully as they are homed as indoor there should not be much chance of an accident although I appreciate occasionally there are accidents in the home

Thanks Ela, I know it is a tricky one to call, just wondered how you went on with it.
