My story

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

Xander’s heart is as pretty as they come, and at the end of the day that’s what matters most in a companion! Though he looks a little rough now, this is nothing compared to the state he arrived in. Xander was found wandering the streets by Chicago Animal Care and Control earlier this year. At the time, he had an open wound, skin lesions and fur loss, and was pretty underweight. Luckily, with a lot of medical care and love from a dedicated foster and partner vet clinic, he worked his way back towards health. His fur is growing back in, his appetite gets better each day, and not once has he turned down some sweet gentle pets. This gentle, loving, deserving cat would do well in any home! Take a chance on him today, and you won’t be disappointed.

*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.
