My story

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

Mr. Bear Bones is a handsome and very affectionate tripod.

Bear loves to cuddle on your lap and be pet for hours. He loves head scratches and belly rubs. He is slowly learning how to play with toys but he would rather be with his person. He will be your little shadow and has not let his three legs slow him down any.

Bear has been doing well with our resident cat but is not a fan of our resident dogs. He would do better in a home with no dogs.

Bear enjoys his food and treats. He has adjusted to using his litter box well-being a tripod. He has also been doing very well on the stairs and jumping onto the couch for cuddles. He has tested positive for FIV.

Bear would love to have his own forever home to cuddle up with you and get belly rubs. If you are looking for a cat buddy and lots of affection, please reach out.
------------------------------------

This cat has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), which is specific to the felines and is not transmissible to dogs, humans, or any other animals. Cats with FIV can live normal, happy, healthy lives, but the virus can weaken a cat's immune system. FIV is spread from cat to cat via mating or deep puncture bite wounds. Thankfully, all our cats are spayed or neutered, so mating is no longer an option! Since FIV does not spread through casual contact like grooming, sneezing, and food/litter sharing, FIV+ cats can live with other cats that have tested negative as long as the cats get along without fighting. Our staff will be happy to tell you more about FIV, and you can learn more about FIV here: phillypaws.org/fiv

This cat's adoption fee is waived!
