My story

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

Hercules is the sweetest cat you'll ever meet. He is about 5 years old and came to PAWS as a stray. Because of his background of living on the streets, he unfortunately has FIV and FeLV. He will need to be the only cat in the foster home or live with another FeLV positive cat.

Adult cats may be calmer than kittens, but make no mistake, they love to channel their inner lion by alternating between long naps and ferocious “hunting” sessions of their toy mice. Some prefer a nice lap to nap on and others prefer to be loved from a distance. Each one has a very special, unique personality and it is a joy to see their habits unfold in a new home. If you’re looking to add more gentle cuddles and playtime to your life, an adult cat could be your perfect fit!
