Here's what the humans have to say about me:
DOB August 3, 2009.
Meet Zorro! The lovable laid-back hunk who wants nothing more than a family that will give him chin scratches and pets, and in return he will always repay you with purring and head butts. He is a very easy going fellow that will greet you at the door when you get home, and will spend his time following you around and cuddling up beside you once you sit or lie down. Although not a full lap cat, Zorro loves to climb over you so that he can endearingly headbutt your cheek or nose, or simply get to your other side where your hand is resting (for petting him of course!). Just look into those big yellow eyes and not want to pet this guy all day - good luck!
Zorro does have quite a playful side as well - bust out a laser pointer and Zorro will be running all over the house and jumping on the walls to catch the red dot! When you eventually have to put the laser pointer down don’t fret, Zorro usually finds a spring or some other form of toy to bat around to keep himself entertained. Zorro doesn’t mind being picked up, wearing a collar or harness, or even getting in a carrier. Strangers are no issue for Zorro, as they’re simply more people who he can win over to petting him.
Zorro was surrendered to a shelter by a family that was moving and just didn’t have the time for a cat anymore. Poor Zorro is the perfect gentleman and it’s hard to believe someone could ever give him up. Per his intake form, he is playful with other cats.
Zorro has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). FIV+ cats can live long happy lives with a good diet, low stress, indoor homes, loving families, and annual vet check-ins. He does not require medication. He can live in a home with other non-FIV+ cats, as the virus is only passed to other cats by blood (ie. deep bite marks). Please do not judge him based on a blood test!
His foster family shares: "Zorro deserves a second chance with a family that actually cares about him, and I have no doubt that he will brighten the lives of any family that he becomes a part of. You’ll be hard pressed not to fall in love with him the moment you meet him.".
