Zeus's Story

Zeus came to Whiskers after being trapped during feral cat outreach, where it quickly became clear he was extremely friendly. He tested positive for both FeLV and FIV and had been lovingly housed in a garage since March 2024 when the rescue helping him could no longer find placement. Now, Zeus is ready for a permanent home of his own.<br/><br/>Zeus carries a calm, soulful presence that makes every space feel a little more peaceful. He enjoys quiet companionship and happily accepts pets and soft words, while still being independent enough to entertain himself. Zeus would thrive with adopters who appreciate a low-drama, gentle cat. He does well with mellow FELV+ cats but would be just as content as an only cat. If you’re looking for a steady, comforting companion who doesn’t demand attention but truly cherishes it, Zeus may be the perfect match. <br/><br/>Zeus is FIV and FeLV positive. Because FeLV is a virus that weakens a cat's immune system, FeLV+ cats can have shorter life-spans, but cats like Zeus, who are diagnosed as an adult, can live to be 10-15 years old. This virus cannot be transmitted to people, dogs or other non-feline animals, but can be transmitted to other cats via shared water and food dishes and grooming each other. Because of this, Zeus should be an only cat or live in a home with other FELV+ cats. He could also live with cat-friendly dogs.<br/><br/>Approx.
