1000 FIV cats project

Post by Bob_H »

Calling all FIV cat owners - and rescues that have homed FIV cats

Can you have 20 minutes to spare over the next few weeks to tell us about your FIV cat?

The project is to document the lives of 1000 FIV cats

By showing what actually happens with lots and lots of FIV cats living normal lives in homes (including those in the past, if no longer alive), the project will provide a data resource which will be helpful to everyone concerned with caring for an FIV cat in the future.

With everyone's help we can provide meaningful reports of real-life FIV experience, and useful statistics which can benefit everyone in the future with the care of an FIV cat.

To read the full story of this project, and hopefully add your cat's story,
owners please visit: http://www.fivcatsdata.com/fiv_owners.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Rescues please visit: http://www.fivcatsdata.com/fiv_rescues.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

We have been warned that the response to a request like this will be minimal - that won't help!
Please prove that members of this forum are better than the norm, and will make the effort - 
it will take a few minutes to find out more, and later about 20 minutes of your time, but it could be really important!

Will you find some time to help us help all FIV cats in the future? 

I hope you will at least find a few minutes to read more about the project.
http://www.fivcatsdata.com/fiv_owners.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - for owners

http://www.fivcatsdata.com/fiv_rescues.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - for rescues

After all, what else has anyone got to do in the next couple of weeks?!

I live in hope (the state of mind, not the place).

Is this a follow-on from 80 FIV cats? Count me in. Bit busy today but will do it over the weekend. Brilliant idea.

This is a fantastic project. I was going to start it yesterday but will definitely do it today. I know that the personal experiences of others with FIV cats definitely helped put my mind at ease with Harvey so I am only too happy to contribute. Thank you Bob.

Bob, this is such a wonderful project. :D

The information you provided when I adopted my FIV+ boy Scholes was invaluable to me, and 'busted' all my misunderstandings and fears about FIV.

Scholes is healthy and happy, and a complete joy.

I've filled in the questionnaire.

Best wishes
