Ark Animal Sanctuary

Many of you have heard us talk about Keith our FIV (AIDS) kitty. Keith holds a very special place in our hearts; we love him dearly.

Keith came to The Ark about five or six years ago. He was found as a stray living on the streets in Pennsylvania and rescued by a very kind man. He took Keith to the vet and got him neutered and tested, only to find out that Keith was FIV-positive. This meant that Keith had to become an indoor kitty so he would not transmit the disease to other cats. This was all well and good until the gentleman decided to get married and his new wife was highly allergic to Keith.
