Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I was living a pretty rough life for a few years, part of a gang of cats, known on the streets as the Janice Street Strays. I tried to play it tough so the rest of the gang wouldn't suspect that I am really a very sweet, sensitive cat on the inside. The woman that was feeding our gang saw right through my disguise and knew immediately that I should get off the streets and into a forever home. Unfortunately, living on the streets sometimes means that you get into a scuffle or two, and in my case, I contracted FIV. Now don't panic, the FIV virus only effects us cats and it's not highly contagious. I would really like to spend my golden years off the streets and in the lap of luxury or any other lap for that matter!
My update: First, the good news. Shortly after the above bio about me appeared, I was adopted into a fine home, and spent 2 1/2 years there. Now, the not-so-good news. My nice family re-located to Florida and couldn't take me along. I was so hoping they would be my forever family. So now I need a special someone more than ever to enter my life for the next chapter. My owner said that I am a gentle, social butterfly of a guy who shows affection all the time by loving to be near you. (I also like big, fat toy mice, too!)If you are looking for a sweet, mellow new companion to share your home and heart with, please take some time to meet me. I could really use a caring and compassionate friend, now and forever!
