💜 February is National Cat Health Awareness Month, 💜 February is National Cat Health Awareness Month, and we want to shine a light on some amazing FIV-positive cats who are full of love, energy, and personality! 🐾 Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) affects a cat’s immune system, but it doesn’t slow them down or mean they can’t live long, healthy, happy lives. FIV is most commonly spread through deep bite wounds from an FIV-positive cat or from a FIV-positive mother cat to her kittens. It is not spread through casual contact like grooming or sharing food bowls, so with a safe, stress-free environment, FIV-positive cats thrive just like any other cat. Some of our fantastic FIV-positive cats ready to meet their forever homes include: 🐱 Padre & Oakland (Bonded pair) 🐱 Tyler (Located at Pet Supplies Plus Kettering) 🐱 Malachai (Located at MeowZa! Cat Boutique) Tips for keeping an FIV-positive cat healthy: ✨ Minimize stress: A calm routine and cozy space go a long way. ✨ Monitor for illness: Knowing your cat’s behavior helps you catch small changes early. ✨ Regular vet visits: Preventive care and checkups keep your cat strong and happy. These cats are proof that FIV doesn’t hold them back, they just want love, cuddles, and a family to call their own. 💕 Find your purr-fect companion: hsdayton.org/adopt/cats #FIVPositiveCats #CatHealthAwareness #AdoptDontShop #HSDayton #FelineLov
❄️🐶 Bret’s Best Day Ever!🐶❄️ Meet Bret, one of ou ❄️🐶 Bret’s Best Day Ever!🐶❄️ Meet Bret, one of our longest resident dogs and truly one of the sweetest, most fun pups you’ll ever meet. He loves people, lives for a good game of chase, and will happily soak up all the belly rubs you have to offer. 💙 Bret recently got to enjoy a Doggy Day Out with one of our awesome volunteers, who treated him to private playtime at Folded Ear dog park. Because Bret is not a fan of other animals, having a space all to himself was perfect. He got to run, play, explore, and just be a dog without any stress. Add in a pup cup treat and some snowy zoomies, and it truly was his **best snow day ever!** ☃️🍦 Bret’s only catch is that he needs to be the one and only pet in the home due to his reactivity toward other animals. But, for the right family, he is an absolute dream dog! Loyal, loving, playful, and so ready to meet you! If you are happy to make Bret your **one and only pet**, he might just be your perfect match. 🏡❤️ Bret is a 1 year old mixed breed. Come visit him during open hours or apply to adopt at: 👉 hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs #AdoptBret #doggydayout #longtermresident #adoptdontshop #HSGDayton
Meet Padre and Oakland! 🐾💙 These sweet kittens ca Meet Padre and Oakland! 🐾💙 These sweet kittens came to us as bottle babies back in August and are now nearly 6 months old. They’ve been patiently waiting for their forever home but keep getting overlooked because they are FIV positive. FIV, or Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, affects a cat’s immune system. Cats with FIV may get colds or other minor illnesses a little more often than other cats, but with regular vet care and a safe, low-stress home, they can live long, happy, full lives. Oakland (female, black) and Padre (black and white) are best buddies. Padre is confident and outgoing, always ready to explore and play, while Oakland is a little more cautious and takes her time to feel safe. Together, they spend their days chasing toys, wrestling, and keeping each other entertained. These two cuties would love a forever home together, where they can continue being playful partners in crime and fill your days with joy. Give these adorable FIV-positive kittens a loving home: hsdayton.org/adopt/cats #FIVPositiveCats #AdoptDontShop #BondedPair #KittenLove #HSDayton
They came to us far too skinny, but look at them n They came to us far too skinny, but look at them now! 🐶💛 Falcon, Eagle, and Phoenix, our sweet beagle mixes, arrived severely underweight and in need of careful, consistent care. Thanks to proper nutrition, close monitoring, and lots of love, they have made incredible progress and are feeling better every day. While they still have a little more weight to gain, our vet team has officially cleared them for adoption! In just three weeks, these boys have made amazing strides, and we are so proud of how far they have come. A big thank you to their dedicated fosters for helping support their recovery along the way! Now they are stronger, brighter, and ready to find families of their own. To learn more or apply to adopt, visit: hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs *Please note, since these dogs are in foster homes, you must apply for adoption to schedule a meet and greet. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on donations to help animals like Falcon, Eagle, and Phoenix get the second chances they deserve, and to care for many more still on their healing journeys. If you would like to help make that possible, please visit hsdayton.org/donate 🐾 #AdoptDontShop #RescueDogs #BeagleMix #AdoptableDogs #FosterSavesLives #SecondChances #DogAdoption #HumaneSociety #DaytonDogs
🎩 Meet Waylon: The Drama, The Charm, The Bow Tie 🐾 🎩 Meet Waylon: The Drama, The Charm, The Bow Tie 🐾 Waylon has been in foster for a while and has NO applications in yet. Honestly, we don’t get it, he’s a fantastic little guy who deserves a forever home! 😼 This back-flopper, feather-chaser, snack-connoisseur has it all. He’s not a big cuddler, but when he decides you’re worthy of pets and flops next to you, it feels like hitting the jackpot. 🎰💖 Waylon’s foster home has a guinea pig roommate, and Waylon is completely chill about it. He even sneaks into the guinea pig’s tiny hide to hang out… even if he doesn’t quite fit! 😹 Only Waylon could be this confident, quirky, and totally relaxed all at once. Waylon is looking for a home that gets it: affection on his terms, plenty of playtime, treats delivered with love, and someone who can appreciate a little drama with their daily dose of charm. We adore this handsome, independent gentleman, and he’s ready to meet the forever human who will love him exactly as he is. 🏡 Apply today to meet Waylon and fall in love: hsdayton.org/adopt/cats #AdoptDontShop #WaylonTheCat #FelineDrama #BowTieCat #IndependentCat #CatsofFacebook #HumaneSocietyofGreaterDayton #CatLove #PlayfulGentleman #AdoptMe
