Pookie (FIV+)

Pookie is a 4-year-old loving adult male cat looking for his forever home!<br/><br/>This sweet boy with the perfectly outlined nose is very content to lounge around and do nothing but prefers to cuddle up close to his person and have you pet him. His favorite thing to play with is his Cat Nip ball. Pookie may take a little time to gain confidence and feel safe in his forever home, but once he does he is an absolute loveball of delight. <br/> <br/>This handsome fellow's adjustment period took about 3 weeks. He does like to have a place to hide --under a bed, behind a desk, or in a closet. But who can really blame him, no one likes to nap in the bright light! In the beginning we used a cat brush to reach out to him and pet him and that is what motivated him to move closer and closer until eventually he allowed for pets. Now comfortable, he comes when called, he often seeks affection and meows for attention. He has also started to show excitement about knowing he is going to be able to snuggle and receive. He jumps up on the bed and rolls around making eye contact, as if asking us to come give him affection.<br/> <br/>Pookie currently lives with 2 adults in a house and he loves to give and receive attention from either person. He is also living in a home with a dog, but the animals have been kept separated by a gate, but can hear and see each other. He has not felt comfortable enough yet to explore the area that the dog is in. He has spent some time with other cats and prefers his own space but warmed up to having the other cats around. <br/><br/>Pookie's ideal forever home would be calm and peaceful and would likely feel best being the only pet in the house.<br/> <br/>This cute guy would also love to live with someone who works from home or is around a lot, and who would enjoy talking to him, holding him, and petting him often. Pookie is very smart--he especially knows when a treat is being offered.<br/><br/>He is so ready to leave his rough days behind and enjoy the cozy, loving indoor life in a loving, compassionate home. Could that be with you?<br/><br/>Pookie is FIV+, but that doesn't mean he can't live a long, normal, and healthy life! Cats with FIV commonly have average lifespans. Because FIV is spread only through deep bite wounds, FIV positive cats are able to live with FIV negative cats in stable social environments.
