Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This beautiful lap kitty was found at our construction company. He was limping around but wasn't consistently showing up for us to feed him. Eventually he showed up every morning so I was able to take him to the vet to get checked for microchip. There was none & no one claimed him from the shelter. We're guessing someone dumped him here.Once he received shots, got neutered & had tests run, I found out that he has diabetes & is FIV +. I would love to keep him but he doesn't seem to get along with other pets. I already have 3 cats & 2 dogs at home as well as a rescue cat at work. I really just want to find a home where he can be the only pet. He is VERY loving, he loves to be pet & brushed. Loves to lay on your lap. He needs to stay indoors due to the compromised immune system. He only needs insulin once a day. I'm happy to get him micro-chipped when adopted & pay for ongoing insulin/prescription food. He can come with all of his "furniture". My only request is to get some updates on him

Bagheera

Bombay

Murrieta, CA

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Bagheera (Bug) is a 2-ish-year-old neutered male Bombay. He is sleek, all-black, and full of personality — energetic, playful, and loves people and kids. He gets the zoomies daily and has a big appetite. He is affectionate and social with humans, but does not get along with other cats, which is why we are rehoming him. We found him as a stray toward the end of last year and have given him a loving home since. We are looking for a home with no other cats where he can be the star of the show and get all the attention he deserves. He will thrive with an owner who has energy to match his and space to run. Bagheera is truly special, and we want nothing but the best for him.
