Phineas's Story

Phineas (“Phin”) is an adorable 1-year-old tabby offering the total package to his forever family: affection, playfulness, and irresistible charm.<br/><br/>A true social butterfly, Phin loves everyone he meets and is genuinely thrilled when new guests stop by. He’s a shameless ham who lives to soak up attention and thrives on companionship. Phin wants his people nearby and would do best in a home that’s a bit on the busier side, as he doesn’t love being alone all day. He absolutely adores affection — sleeping on the bed for at least a few hours each night and starting every morning with the sweetest little cuddle routine.<br/><br/>In the evenings, Phin’s zoomies kick in and he dashes happily around the house. A feline friend around his age (or younger) would likely be a wonderful match, giving him a buddy to wrestle, chase, and burn off that kitten energy with.<br/><br/>Phin is FIV+, and it’s important to know that FIV-positive and FIV-negative cats can safely live together. FIV is transmitted only through deep bite wounds — not through grooming, sharing bowls, or normal play — so in a stable, friendly home, the risk to other cats is minimal. FIV+ cats can live long, full, happy lives with a normal lifespan, and Phin is no exception.<br/><br/>He also has Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease, so his litter box habits should be monitored daily. He’ll need a committed adopter who stays attentive to his urinary health, but with proper care and consistency, many cats with FLUTD do very well.<br/><br/>A sweetheart through and through, Phineas is ready to devote himself completely to his forever family and fill their home with endless snuggles, entertainment, and love.<br/><br/>Interested in adopting Phineas?

Our policy is to adopt kittens in pairs. We find that kittens are much happier when they have a companion and they tend to expend their youthful energy on each other rather than on your couch! Kittens are adorable, but older cats can be wonderful pets as well and they tend to be overlooked, so please consider adopting an adult cat or two!<br/><br/>The Cat Connection is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3)organization of volunteers who rescue homeless cats.
