Franklin

Meet Franklin, a friendly FIV+ adult cat with a big personality and a heart full of love. <br/><br/>Imagine a little dog in a cat’s body—that’s Franklin! He is extremely affectionate, adores curling up on laps, and never misses a chance to snuggle in bed. Playful, curious, and always on the move, Franklin loves interactive play and especially enjoys wand toys. When he’s done exploring, there’s nothing he likes more than keeping you company as a loyal sidekick.?<br/><br/>Franklin is also a champion cat wrestler and enjoys rough-and-tumble play with cats his age. He has a sweet spot for gentle kitten friends and would do well with young feline companions. While he could also thrive as a solo cat with plenty of enrichment and activity, Franklin’s affection is best suited to a home that’s as active as he is. His favorite hangout is the catio, so a safe outdoor space is a big bonus!?<br/><br/>Franklin sometimes gets a little carried away during petting or play, but a quick pause helps him settle right down. Because of his lively nature, he’ll be happiest with adults or older children (10+) who understand that he occasionally needs space. Caution is recommended when opening doors, and double screens are advised on windows to keep this curious adventurer safe.?<br/><br/>His history is mostly a mystery—Franklin was trapped at a small colony behind a mall and initially seemed shy. But when it was time to return him, Franklin made his feelings clear: he cried during the drive and then refused to leave his carrier. The moment he was brought indoors, he blended right in, greeting people and cats alike with gentle friendliness. He’s been a perfect guest since, with excellent litter box habits and a robust appetite.<br/><br/>Franklin is FIV-positive but in great health, neutered, and up-to-date on all vaccines. He’s not been exposed to dogs, so his feelings about canine companions are unknown. This gentle, busy boy is looking for a loving home where he can flourish, bring joy, and share his one-of-a-kind spirit.?<br/><br/>FIV is not spread among cats through casual contact such as grooming, sharing dishes, food, water bowls, or litter boxes; it requires deep bites that break the skin and exchange blood.?<br/><br/>Most veterinarians and feline health organizations agree that FIV-positive and FIV-negative cats can safely coexist in a calm, stable household.?<br/><br/>Spaying/neutering and ensuring all cats are well-socialized and not aggressive further decreases any minimal risk of transmission.?Careful introductions and close observation are recommended at first, especially for signs of aggression or fighting.<br/><br/>Could Franklin be the feline friend your heart—and lap—has been waiting for??
