Rocky (FIV positive)'s Story

Rocky — The Sunshine Seeking Bachelor<br/>Rocky was found living outside, but it was clear from day one that he is an indoor gentleman at heart. He's affectionate, expressive, and will meow in multiple octaves to let you know when he needs something. Rocky loves simple comforts — a cozy couch, a sunny window, a few gentle pets, and the freedom to enjoy life at his own pace. <br/>His time on the streets left him sensitive to stress, so Rocky needs a slower paced home where he can be the only cat. When overwhelmed, he may give a light boundary setting bite, never out of aggression, but simply communication — which is why he's best in a home without children. <br/>Rocky thrives when he has a peaceful space of his own, where he can watch birds, chase toys, nap in warm sunbeams, and enjoy the quiet life he deserves. For someone seeking a mellow, quirky, sweet companion, Rocky is ready to be your loyal little shadow.<br/><br/>Did you know? Rocky is FIV positive!<br/>Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) simply means this sweet cat has a slightly lowered immune system, but it does not mean they can't live a long, happy, and normal life. FIV is not contagious to humans or dogs, and it cannot be spread through casual daily contact (like sharing food bowls, sleeping in the same bed, or gentle grooming) with other cats—it is transmitted almost exclusively through deep bite wounds. However due to his life experiences, Rocky would be best as an only cat anyway. Rocky is ready to thrive as an indoor-only pet and will give you all the love in the world!<br/><br/>Rocky is neutered, microchipped, FVRCP vaccinated, and has tested negative for FeLV.<br/><br/>!!!

Desert Paws Rescue's Adoption Policy
It is the policy of Desert Paws Rescue that all potential cat adopters complete a Cat Adoption Consultation Form and an interview with a Desert Paws representative in order to be considered as a forever home for our cats and kittens. Completion of the application and interview process does not guarantee an adoption approval or guarantee the adoption of a particular cat or kitten. Desert Paws Rescue is a privately run, all-volunteer, non-profit organization and reserves the right to refuse any adoption that is not in the best interest of the cat or kitten, based on our principles, policies, and standards. Desert Paws Rescue will determine the best home for each cat or kitten based on the application and interview process. After review of the adoption consultation form and the completion of the interview with a Desert Paws representative, Desert Paws Rescue may recommend a different cat or kitten that is more suitable to your household.
