Abstract

This work reports the case of a blind feline, victim of abandonment - who was housed in a shelter - and was adopted. The cat is a male, castrated, blind, 4 kg adopted in an ONG, which when chosen for adoption was tested for FIV/FELV, showing positive results for FIV and negative for FELV. Over four years with her adopters, he manifested several conditions related to retroviruses, such as dermatophytosis, feline stomatitis gingivitis complex and other signs secondary to FIV. There was always a lot of compassion from the tutors towards the feline. The feline’s coexistence with family members and other animals was always pleasant and brought many moments of happiness, and the fact that the animal was FAIDS+ never negatively affected the relationship with everyone who started living with it.
