Perhaps you have a special place in your home for an ARF dog or cat with special needs? Or perhaps you have a special place in your heart to make a donation to ARF’s Hope Fund to help these and other ARF animals like them?

ARF’s Hope Fund helps pay for veterinary and other special needs of animals rescued by ARF's rescue patrol. Helping these abandoned animals is an important part of ARF's mission. Although the expense may be cost prohibitive for these ARF shelter guests, the transformation is nothing short of a miracle. Only through your generous donations can ARF continue this life-enriching work.

FELINES WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

	5-year-old Scrimmage has lots of love to share and is very sweet girl. This sweetheart is a special needs kitty because she is diabetic and declawed in front. Since she’s been declawed, it would be best if she were in a home with another declawed cat or very gentle, non-aggressive cat. Also, this would necessitate that she be an indoor cat ONLY. She is a very gentle girl who lives for affection and is easy to give her insulin.  Watch Scrimmage on YouTube!

*Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)

FIV is a virus in the same family of viruses as Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). FIV is a cat-only disease and people cannot catch FIV from their cats. FIV is only spread between cats by bite wounds and blood transfusions. FIV cannot be spread casually - unless an FIV kitty bites another cat, the virus cannot spread. There is no reason cats with FIV should not be in loving homes. FIV cats can often live long and normal lives. Some cats live a long time with this virus, often with no symptoms at all. FIV cats have a lot to offer a family and should not prevent a delightful feline from coming into a loving home.
