My story

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

FIV positive, microchipped, DOB May 5, 2024

Cruiser can be a little shy and cautious in a new environment, preferring to observe quietly while he gains confidence, but once he’s settled in and feels safe, his true personality shines, becoming incredibly affectionate and people-oriented.

His absolute favourite way to bond is head-scrubs and chin massages; give him those and you’ll instantly win his heart! He loves staying close to his humans and will often follow you around. When he gets extra excited or playful, he may gently “bite” with his toothless mouth; it looks silly and definitely doesn’t hurt.

He’s had all his teeth removed, so a wet food diet is recommended.

Cruiser has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). FIV+ cats can live long happy lives with a good diet, low stress, indoor homes, loving families, and annual vet check-ins. They don't require medication and can live in a home with other non-FIV+ cats, as the virus is only passed to other cats by blood (i.e. deep bite marks) and can't be passed to dogs or humans. Please don't judge them based on a blood test!

Additional adoption info

Adoption fee is $225 per adult cat, and $300 for kittens (under 8 months old).

This ensures that the cats that come into our care receive the attention they need, are spayed or neutered, and receive a rabies vaccination at the appropriate age. For City of Toronto residents, the adoption fee includes a mandatory City of Toronto cat license that is valid for one year. As you can imagine, these fees only begin to cover our costs; donations and ongoing fundraising efforts carry us the rest of the way!

Note:
-Senior cats (8 years or older) have an adoption fee of the adopter's choice, vs. our standard adult adoption fee of $225.
-Our adoption fee for an adult bonded pair (8 months or older) is $175 per cat vs. $225 per cat. Thanks for giving two loving friends a home together!
