Q: Ever since my cats died, my home has felt empty and lonely. The local cat rescue is offering for adoption some cats that tested positive for the feline leukemia virus or the feline immunodeficiency virus.

I want to share my home with two of these “special needs” cats, but I don’t know much about these viruses or what’s involved in caring for infected cats. Please explain.
