My story

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

Catfish isn`t just another fish in the sea - he`s a super special, loving cat who is looking to cozy up in his forever home and retire from outdoor life! Catfish came into the shelter as a stray back in February and was in need of some TLC. He was dealing with an upper respiratory infection and a wound on his leg, but as he received treatment and started feeling better, we got to see his sweet personality come out! Catfish is happy to be your couch companion after a day of bird watching in the window. He gives lots of headbutts for attention and enjoys plenty of cheek scratches.

Catfish is FIV positive, which is common in male cats who have spent their lives outdoors. With regular care and an indoor-only lifestyle, FIV+ cats can live happy, healthy lives. Unfortunately, FIV+ cats are often overlooked by adopters. Catfish is hoping that someone will love him for exactly who he is! Could you be the one to give this boy the forever home he deserves?
