After her 19-year-old cat crossed the rainbow bridge she told him "I'd take a cat if you send me one". The sign she was waiting for appeared as a feral kitten, waiting outside her house for hours.

Our cats who crossed the rainbow bridge are never truly gone; they live forever in our hearts. But sometimes, they manifest in unexpected ways.

We're constantly told that the Cat Distribution System sends the cats in need to the right human, the one who will give them all the love they deserve and all the protection they need. In some cases, though, the situation is reversed, but with the same wholesome result - a human might be in need of a cat. Cats love their humans, and some people simply need a little more floofy friendship in their lives. In this case, the CDS sends a can in need to a person who's also in need. But what we learn from this one cat pawrent below is that the CDS takes requests.

Just requesting a cat doesn't usually work. But apparently, there's a certain condition in which a person's wish for a cat can come true in a very short amount of time. That is, if you ask it from your soul cat who has passed over the rainbow bridge to the other side. A woman who raised a cat for 19 years(!) made just one wish - bring me another cat, if you will, I will take him in. And so, her new cat came to be.

Living with an FIV-positive cat is less about fear and more about love, patience, and extra snuggles. FIV, or feline immunodeficiency virus, affects a cat’s immune system, but it doesn’t mean a short life or constant illness - many FIV-positive cats live happy, full lives with proper care. These cats often thrive indoors, with cozy routines, nutritious food, and regular veterinary check-ups to catch minor issues before they grow. They may take a little longer to warm up to strangers, but once trust is earned, they are profoundly affectionate, loyal, and sometimes downright goofy in ways that make every moment feel earned.
Living with an FIV-positive cat also teaches humans about empathy and attentiveness: noticing small signs of fatigue or subtle mood changes becomes part of the daily bonding ritual. Because they often move at their own pace, play sessions and cuddle times are precious and deeply satisfying. Many adopters report that FIV-positive cats have unique personalities - full of quirks, charm, and gentle humor - that make them unforgettable companions. Providing a loving home gives them safety, warmth, and joy, proving that a positive diagnosis doesn’t limit love, it simply makes it more intentional, more rewarding, and often more magical.
