My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

How to write about Hambone? There are not enough positive adjectives available for Hambone. Want a lap cat? Want a cat who loves you so much it hurts your heart? Look no further than Hambone. This enormous, long-haired brown and white tabby roughed it outdoors and you can tell by his ragged ears, his FIV+ status, and sadly, by the BB pellet we found in his side. Sit by his side and he will clamber into your lap, pressing his body hard against yours. He will fill the space between your arms, as if to say: “I want you to hug me.” He rubs his head all against you for pets. Hambone’s life has been hard enough, and he is all too ready for some love.

*Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) causes a weakening of the immune system in cats. It's often compared to human HIV, but FIV is not transferable to humans or other species. It is also difficult to transfer to other sterilized cats, and we believe that mixed FIV and non-FIV households can work if managed properly. If kept indoors in a stress-free environment, with regular medical care and high-quality nutrition, most FIV+ cats live long and healthy lives. Tree House staff can help answer your questions to see if an FIV+ cat is the right choice for you. FIV+ cats adopted from Tree House are eligible for a lifetime veterinary-care plan that includes a free annual exam and discounted treatments.
