Kyle was my first pet after I moved out on my own. I remember going to the SPCA one day, about 20 years ago, looking for a black cat. There was a gorgeous, long haired black cat with a grey undercoat that I had my eye on. When I got there, I learned that there was someone already interested in him. They showed me this ginger haired boy. At the time, I didn't realize how awesome orange boys are (now they're my favorite ), I REALLY wanted that black cat.

I got a call later that day that the black cat was adopted so I decided to go with the gorgeous orange tabby. 
Kyle was not only a "looker", he had quite the personality as well. He was a rough player and loved to chew on the back of my legs, attack my feet at night, and walk around like a predator, ready to pounce on anything that moved. I loved him with all my heart and soul.

Working at the vet clinic at the time, I decided to do a blood test on him to check for Feline Leukemia/FIV, never dreaming it would show positive.

When I got the result that he had tested positive for Feline Leukemia my heart completely sank. But, being the fighter that he was, I knew it wasn't a death sentence. With proper care and nutrition, cats with the disease can live a "normal" life. 

Kyle became the real life poster boy for Felv/FIV testing, and I like to think he led the way to a newer line of thinking for the SPCA that led to the testing of all cats and kittens prior to adoption, to ensure the best care possible.
​
Sadly, we lost Kyle shortly before his 7th birthday to the disease, but his legacy lives on.
