My story

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

Meet Tommy the Cat — the Sweetest Survivor

Tommy is a very special older gentleman who came to us from the San Bernardino Municipal Shelter just before he was scheduled to be put to sleep. When he arrived, he was weak, sick, and covered in road tar. With gentle baths, fluids, nutritious food, and lots of veterinary care, Tommy slowly came back to life.

Today, Tommy is thriving! His upper respiratory infection has cleared, and he’s had a full dental cleaning with any problem teeth removed. He truly is a whole new cat.

❤️ Tommy’s Personality

Tommy is incredibly affectionate and loves being held and petted. He’ll press his forehead against your cheek while he purrs—his sweet way of saying thank you for saving him. He’s also a fan of cozy naps in his soft, fluffy bed by the heater. Peaceful, gentle moments are his favorite.

🩺 About Tommy’s FIV+ Status

Tommy has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). Here’s what that means:

FIV affects a cat’s immune system, but many cats live long, happy, normal lives with it.

There is no cure, but there is excellent management: good nutrition, routine vet care, and a stress-free indoor life.

FIV cannot be transmitted to humans or dogs.

It is only spread to other cats through deep bite wounds—not through sharing beds, bowls, or grooming.

🏡 What Kind of Home Is Best for Tommy?

Tommy could live with:

No other cats (ideal since he’s more susceptible to illness), or

Other FIV+ cats, or

Calm, non-FIV cats who get along and are vaccinated and stay indoors.

With a loving home and proper care, Tommy can enjoy many more years filled with love, companionship, and comfort.
