She isn't on daily medication for FIV, and we'd like to reiterate here that FIV does not mean she can't live with other cats but if you have a FIV positive cat that needs a buddy- Moxie would be perfect! She is super friendly and loves everybody!<br/><br/>What Moxie really needs now isn't another medical intervention.<br/><br/>She needs a home.<br/><br/>A real one.<br/><br/>A place where she can curl up somewhere soft, watch birds through a window, get spoiled rotten, and finally learn that humans don't always leave.<br/><br/>Moxie has already survived the hard part.<br/><br/>Now we're looking for the person who will make sure the rest of her story is easy.<br/><br/>She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, has had her dental completed, and is ready to meet you.<br/><br/>And that name?<br/><br/>Moxie.<br/><br/>It means courage, determination and spirit.<br/><br/>After everything this little girl has been through, we think she earned it.<br/><br/>Now let's find the person who gets to love her.

Meet Moxie - She's Got a Story. And One Heck of a Second Chance.

Some cats come into a shelter looking for a home.

Moxie came looking for someone to finally care.

Moxie is a beautiful 2-year-old blue-gray and white tabby with mesmerizing eyes and a face that somehow manages to look both sweet and just a little bit serious.

But don't let that serious expression fool you.

Underneath it is a total lovebug.

Moxie was found in Waterbury after her owner moved away and left behind more than 20 cats.

Yes. Twenty.

Some compassionate neighbors began trapping the abandoned cats one by one, trying to get them somewhere safe. When Moxie was finally rescued, she was absolutely loaded with fleas and worms. She was treated, cleaned up, tested-and then came the news that she was FIV positive.

Unfortunately, that diagnosis meant local organizations weren't willing to take her.

So NFSAW stepped in.

And look at her now.

Flea-free.

And look at her now.

Flea-free.
Worm-free.
Dental done.
Safe.
Loved.
And ready to move on.

And yes-we took care of that dental in full this week, so Moxie can check one more thing off her list and head into her new life with a fresh, healthy smile.
