Aci is one beautiful Seal Point Siamese mix. This sweet girl is shy but will come out of her shell during playtime. She loves playing with her siblings and would love to be adopted with one of her littermates (Winter, Hazelnut, Windy, or Frijole).

Aci’s mama is FIV positive and it is very common for FIV antibodies to be passed along to her kittens so Aci has tested positive for FIV. It is important to understand that these tests look for the presence of the FIV antibodies but they do not look for the presence of FIV.

While maternal antibody transmission is common, transmission of the disease is extremely uncommon. It is recommended that Aci be tested again in six months after maternal antibodies have worn off and a more accurate test result can be obtained. In most cases, kittens will retest negative, and be FIV-free.
