A.K.A. Emotionally Available (But Has Boundaries)

Holstein is the best kind of cat: affectionate, connected, and very aware of his people — but not glued to you 24/7.

About His FIP Journey

Holstein recently completed treatment for FIP — and he handled it like an absolute pro. He's expected to live a completely normal, healthy life with no special care needed going forward.

He's a little survivor wrapped in black-and-white fluff — and now he's ready for the good part: being someone's cat.
