Elton is having a hard time finding a new home because of an extra-special quality: Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV).

This is not a death sentence. Elton can live a relatively normal -- and long -- life. And he can only transmit the disease to other cats (biting or scratching). FIV cannot be transmitted to humans or dogs.
