Hector:
The Guardian with a Gentle Heart.
Hector is a large, handsome 2–3-year-old brown tabby whose courage and loyalty carried his little family through the hardest months of their lives. As the fall winds grew colder and the nights turned harsh, Hector stayed close to his mate, Calliope (FCID# 11/25/2025 - 26), and their four kittens, huddled together in a box tucked beneath a table on a porch. While Calliope comforted the babies, Hector kept quiet watch—always nearby, always ready, always making sure his family was safe.
When the resident of the home discovered the kittens and brought them inside to protect them from the cold, Hector never left the porch. His family was there, and that was where he needed to be. Forgotten Cats stepped in when no one else did, rescuing the entire family and giving them the safety they had been fighting for.
Life on the streets left Hector with FIV+, but it did not take away his sweetness. With the battles behind him and no reason to fight anymore, this once-weathered tom has revealed a deeply affectionate, gentle soul. He greets kindness with gratitude, warmth, and the quiet strength of a cat who has known hardship—and chosen love instead.
Hector deserves a home where he can finally relax, stretch out in the warmth he never had, and be cherished for the devoted, noble-hearted companion he is.
A protector.
A survivor.
A gentle giant ready for his forever family.

FIV+ cats can live and play with FIV- cats. Please check out the quick facts sheet.
Hector and Calliope are in our Trainer, PA clinic/shelter. One of our volunteers commented, 'They are doing great in the Free Roam room. Hector is so handsome and friendly. Calliope is a little scared, but Hector runs to check on her. It is so sweet to watch.' Another volunteer commented, 'Hector was following me around wanting pets and attention. He would watch over Calliope who is still a little afraid.'
Wouldn't it be great if Hector and Calliope found a forever home together?
