HISTORY: VICTORY was found in a Santa Fe neighborhood fending for himself.  He was rescued by a kind person and transferred to F&F to find his forever home.  TEMPERAMENT: VICTORY was very scared at first, but has now become very sweet and loving. He enjoys the company of other gentle cats and would probably be fine with another cat like his pal TOPPER.

VICTORY has a short orange tabby coat and white paws. AGE: born approx. 9/1/15 MICROCHIP #:-6007  DATE OF STERILIZATION: 3/8/17  VAX RECORD:  FVRCP expires: 11/10/25; Rabies expires: 08/15/25  FELV/FIV test: 3/8/18; neg/neg  ADOPTION FEE: $100 If you are interested in adopting this cat, please fill out our Adoption Application completely. In the space provided on the form, please include contact information for three (3) personal references.
