Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Shia was at one time someone's baby. He was dumped in a trailer park, wandering for......a time. A nice lady started feeding him and got him in to be fixed and vetted. He was boney and although, large, not the weight he should be.
At first he was shy but started warming up quickly and will take a little time in a new house to do the same, but not that long. He's willing to come out of his shell quickly and you can tell by petting him, he just wants to be loved. His coat is dis shoveled pretty badly, he'd been beating up by other outdoor male cats but now that he's inside full time, he is starting to look better with the nutritious food he's getting and the love, it makes all the difference.
He's healthy right now, and we intend on keeping him that way. He has, although been diagnosed with FIV. He wants to be an only cat in the home anyway and he can live a long time with FIV as long life as he's happy and well fed. He has a compromised system from the FIV but these cats can still live many years as long as they are not stressed out and the pet parent is feeding healthy food, keeping them indoors, have a low-key household so not having a metal band practicing in the house and doesn't have people living there who are yelling a lot of the time. A calm home, meaning house, not a apartment, with a catio or in the burbs with a peaceful view of the world would do him wonders.
HE IS SUPER AFFECTIONATE, even on day one he wants to rub on his person.
We are looking for a non smoking home for him. We know he's too inward to be around kids, we are not sure if he's going to be okay around a dog who is cat friendly or not, but we know he's not a fan of other cats because he's been in scuffles with other males while he was outside. We are learning more day by day. He'd be okay in a home with older children, ages 12 and older.
