Hilda

Hilda is a stunning 7-year-old female long-haired tortoiseshell with mesmerizing green eyes. Despite being FIV* positive, she has been symptom-free and has thrived in her foster home, living harmoniously with other cats. Submissive by nature, Hilda has also tolerated the household dogs, though she prefers to keep her distance. Hilda came from a challenging beginning, and while she was initially very shy, she has blossomed into a loving and affectionate companion. Now a motorboat purring machine and a master biscuit maker, she will steal your heart with her gentle pats and head boops. Though she is still learning to be comfortable with being picked up, she enjoys pets and brushing sessions immensely. Hilda would thrive in a quiet home with older children, as she tends to run from loud noises or fast movements. She loves sleeping on her foster parents' bed, playing with toys, and savouring treats. If you have a serene household and are looking for a sweet, gentle feline friend, Hilda might just be the perfect addition to your family! At the Alliston & District Humane Society, we prioritize the health and well-being of our furry friends. Hilda has been spayed, ensuring a healthy and happy future, and is up to date on her FVRCP and Rabies vaccines. Hilda has also been dewormed and microchipped, so you'll never have to worry about her safety. If you're interested in bringing Hilda into your home, we'd love to hear from you!

Cats with FIV can still live long, healthy lives, especially with good care. FIV spreads mainly through deep bite wounds, so it's more common in outdoor cats that get into fights. It doesn't spread through casual contact like sharing food bowls or grooming. Regular vet check-ups and keeping FIV-positive cats indoors can help manage their health. If you have any questions about FIV please feel free to reach out as we would love to share more information about what FIV is and what it means for your cat.
