Big Boy's Story

Meet Big Boy, 11 pounds of orange-and-white personality, opinions, and pure ginger charm! <br/><br/>Big Boy recently arrived at Homeward Bound after being rescued from a difficult situation involving a large, struggling colony. A kindhearted woman had taken in numerous cats while trying to help as many as she could, but with the number of cats in her care growing beyond what was manageable, Big Boy simply wasn't thriving in such a crowded, stressful environment.<br/><br/>And honestly? This big orange guy seems ready for a fresh start. <br/><br/>Big Boy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and FIV+. He's healthy, uses his litter box, and is VERY vocal and social. He loves rubbing against your legs, chatting with his people, and will happily play when someone takes the time to engage him.<br/><br/>He also has a BIG personality. Big Boy has been known to throw his weight around with the other cats, and the busy colony environment clearly wasn't bringing out his best side. Because of that, we think he would be happiest as the only cat in his loving home, where he can have his own space, his own people, and plenty of attention.<br/><br/>Big Boy is still learning what life as an indoor companion is all about, so he'll need someone patient who understands that a cat with a strong personality may need a little time, guidance, and boundaries. He isn't currently a lap-cat candidate, but he LOVES being near his people and making sure they know exactly what he thinks. <br/><br/>In other words, Big Boy doesn't need a home that expects him to be perfect on day one. He needs someone who will see the big, bossy, talkative ginger heart underneath it all and give him the chance to show who he can be when he's no longer overwhelmed by a crowded environment.<br/><br/> Big Boy's ideal home:<br/> He'd prefer to be your one-and-only cat<br/> Someone who appreciates a cat with a BIG personality<br/> A patient person willing to help him learn the ropes of indoor life<br/> Someone who can provide structure, boundaries, playtime, and plenty of attention<br/> A loving home where he can finally relax and just be Big Boy<br/><br/>If you're a ginger-cat enthusiast who isn't afraid of a little attitude, Big Boy may be your guy. <br/><br/>Come meet this handsome, chatty orange boy at Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions and see if you two are meant to be! <br/><br/>NOTE: FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) simply means Big Boy's immune system needs a little extra care. Cats with FIV can live long, happy lives, coexist peacefully with other cats, and make truly wonderful companions.<br/><br/> Learn more about FIV+ cats here:<br/>https://www.humaneworld.org/en/all-animals/fiv-positive-cats<br/><br/>#HomewardBoundCatAdoptions #AdoptBigBoy #AdoptDontShop #GingerCat #OrangeCat #FIVPositive #RescueCat #CatAdoption #LasVegasCats #AdoptACat

Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions's Adoption Policy
If you see a cat or kitten you’d like to meet, please note their location in their adoption profile. Most of our adoptable cats and kittens are located at our Adoption Center at 2675 E. Flamingo Rd., Las Vegas. Come on down any day, noon-6:00pm, to meet and adopt available cats/kittens. All adoptions are conversation based, in person, on a first-come, first-served basis. Our cats and kittens come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and personalities so we encourage you to get to know them and see who is the best fit for your family. Once you find a cat you’re interested in adopting, our Adoptions Team will help you through the adoption process to make sure both you and your new furry friend are set up for success. All adoptions are same-day, and cats will go home with you upon completing the adoption process. Unfortunately, we cannot hold cats for future adoption or pick-up.
