Welch

Our Welch, a resilient and incredibly affectionate boy who has already proven he's a fighter! Born around 4/15/25 and with us since July, this sweet boy is ready to put his rough start behind him and become the cozy, purring heart of your home.<br/>He's got a long bio with lots of information but, he's worth it and we are dedicated to find the perfect match for him after this journey he's had. <br/>? <br/> * Welch is so soft and plushy! He is extremely affectionate, always purry, and happily makes biscuits.<br/> * He gets so excited for cuddles that he even drools a little bit and might give a gentle "love nibble".<br/> * Welch would really thrive with someone who works from home or in a house where he isn't alone for too long. He is truly desperate for his forever best friend.<br/> * Once he trusts you, his favorite place is right next to you, often sleeping head-to-head under the blankets (or draped around your head if you let him!).<br/>? <br/> * He enjoys hiding and sleeping in dark, cozy spots—under the bed, under blankets, or in a safe little cave. He feels safest in these dark places!<br/> * Loud noises (like a passing car) will send him running to hide Luckily, he’s highly treat motivated! Once he sees you settle in, he’ll usually sneak out to join you. (Tuna Churu are his favorite right now!)<br/> * He has been exposed to very kitty-friendly dogs (whom he does not mind!) and gets along wonderfully with respectful feline friends and kiddos age 7+.<br/><br/>? Welch is NOT a Russian Blue. Please do not apply if you are applying because you want a Russian Blue. He is just a GORGEOUS boy. ???<br/><br/>?Welch is FIV positive, but please don't let that scare you! Cats with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus can and do live long, healthy, and happy lives. By adopting Welch, you are choosing a cat full of love who simply needs a watchful, dedicated family.<br/><br/>Welch's Perfect Home Must Provide:<br/> * Indoor ONLY: This is vital for his health, as it protects his immune system and prevents the spread of the virus.<br/> * Respectful Companions: He can join a home with other spayed or neutered cats who are respectful and non-aggressive.<br/> * Long-Term Commitment: An adopter who is committed to his lifelong wellness.<br/><br/>Key Tips for FIV+ Wellness:<br/> * Veterinary Care: You will need to have an established vet that we can verify. This is non-negotiable. We know it's hard to get appointments but, Welch will need to have an adopter that is serious about being dedicated to his long term health with annual or bi-annual (twice-yearly) check-ups. Early detection of any secondary infections is key, and your vet must be aware of his FIV status to best guide preventative care and dental health. <br/><br/> * Diet: Avoid raw food to minimize the risk of food-borne bacteria that could cause illness.<br/><br/> * Life Expectancy: FIV+ cats often have a normal lifespan!<br/><br/>The biggest danger for FIV+ cats is the misconception that they are sick or unadoptable.<br/><br/>Ready to open your heart and home to this velvety soft, purring goofball?
