Meet Dr. Purcell from Contra Costa Animal Services! Today, she’s addressing myths about FIV+ cats and highlighting why these amazing cats deserve a loving home. 🐱FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, but don’t let that scare you! We often see FIV+ cats at our shelter, and sometimes people hesitate to adopt them due to misconceptions. Tune in to learn the truth about FIV and consider opening your heart and home to one of our wonderful FIV+ cats 🏠✨ View all available cats at ccasd.org Sources: Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine:   https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-immunodeficiency-virus   The Humane Society of the United States:   https://www.humanesociety.org/news/fiv-positive-cats #cats #catsofinstagram #sheltercats #adoptdontshop #adoptme #animalshelter #fiv #vet #vetmed #vetmedicine #feline

Celebrating #NationalKittenDay with one of our amazing Treatment Room Support volunteers in action! 🐱💖 Kittens at this age are incredibly vulnerable without a Mama Cat, relying on human caregivers to survive. That is why our volunteers and staff work tirelessly to give these tiny kittens a fighting chance at life, one bottle at a time, especially during Kitten Season. You can join this incredible team and make a difference too—sign up to foster or volunteer at ccasd.org! 🌟 #kittens #bottlebabies #kittenlove #fosterkittens #fosterkittensofinstagram #kittenseason #fosterkitten #bottlebabiesgrowup

🌟 Today marks the start of Volunteer Appreciation Week! To kick things off, we wanted to introduce you to Steve Amos, a dedicated volunteer since 2006, and also our new Community Engagement Coordinator!

It's a program that provides physical enrichment for our shelter dogs through off-site outings (such as the Pleasant Hill Turkey Trot)— and it remains successful to this day 👏 Thank you to Steve and all our wonderful volunteers for being the heart of our community, and for all the wagging tails and purrs you help create!
