My story

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

Perry is a distinguished gentleman who loves to be cuddled and held. He loves attention and makes the best biscuits!

Perry is FIV+, which means he lived on the streets and likely got into some fights as it is usually transmitted through a deep bite wound. Years ago this was considered a death sentence, but cats with this diagnosis are living as long as cats without the disease. No medication is required, he just will be immunocompromised, much like humans with diabetes are.

Since Perry has lived a hard life on the streets, he tends to startle easily, and may bite. Volunteers are working with him daily so he can learn to trust humans again.
He would need to be the only cat in the home, or be with another cat with FIV. FIV is not transmitted to dogs or humans, only cats.

Will you be willing to take a chance on this sweet guy?
