Roxie is very sweet and affectionate. She will follow you around, cuddle up in your lap, and is happy to receive pets any and all the time (including belly rubs!) She is also very curious and playful, and will play as long as you have the energy for. It may take her a few minutes to get used to you, but as soon as she warms up she will consider you a friend for life.
I am positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus), which means I can only live with other FeLV+ kitties, dogs, or non-cat animals. FeLV is species-specific and only contagious to other cats. FeLV is similar to being immunocompromised in humans and doesn't prevent me from living a happy, healthy life!
Because of my diagnosis, my adoption fee is waived!

More about this shelter
The Humane Society of North Central Florida was created in 2018 when the leadership of the Alachua County Humane Society, Gainesville Pet Rescue, and Helping Hands Pet Rescue decided to permanently join forces. By becoming the Humane Society of North Central Florida, our organizations were able to effectively streamline services for pets and pet owners, eliminate any duplication of services, maximize our community’s resources, and improve the life-saving abilities of the entire region.
Our founding organizations have been dedicated to serving pets in Alachua County for more than 40 years. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is a limited intake, no-kill animal rescue shelter. The animals in our facility are transferred from open-intake and/or managed admission municipal shelters across North Central Florida. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is an independent, local 501(c)(3) organization. As such, we do not receive funding from federal agencies, nor are we affiliated with any other state or national organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States or the ASPCA.
