Story
Hi everyone, I’m looking for a loving home for a very special cat I’ve been caring for over the past 2 years in Hernando (old Nesbit area). He is about 4–5 years old, extremely kind and gentle. He can be a little scared at first, but once he warms up, he is the sweetest boy I’ve ever met. He is so gentle in everything he does and just wants love and safety. He has really bonded with me and comes to my door every morning and most nights. I found out his previous owner passed away, and since then he has been roaming. I took him to the vet after he was injured in a fight, and overall he is healthy, but he is FIV positive, so he needs a home with no other cats. I already have 5 cats and cannot safely keep him, and we are moving soon. He really needs someone. I do not want to leave him behind without knowing he will be safe, loved, and cared for. Please, if you have room in your heart or know someone who might, reach out. I’m honestly asking for help to make sure he doesn’t end up alone.
