Meet Rafael

Rafael came to ADOPT from Adopt a River Cat. He was born about 12/5/2013.

I lived on the streets of Aurora for a while before a kind lady took me in and gave me food and a comfortable place to sleep. I would gladly have stayed with her and her family but she explained that there were many other cats needing her help. She brought me to ADOPT so they could help me find my forever home.

I settled right in with these folks but I keep thinking about having a forever home. It would be so wonderful to always have a warm, comfy place to sleep and not have to worry about where my next meal is coming from. I would be so grateful to be part of a loving family that I would love you with all my heart.

One thing you need to know is, somewhere along the way, some big bully cat beat up on me and gave me FIV. If you don't know what that is, well let me explain. It is a virus that cannot be transmitted to people or any animals except cats. Though I have this virus, I feel fine. I do have a harder time fighting off diseases but, as an indoor only cat (which would suit me just fine) I would not be exposed to diseases and would live a long, healthy life.

FIV is transmitted to other cats via deep bites. Since I get along with other cats just fine, I would be fine with any cat that is willing to accept me as an addition to the family.

I sure would like to find that forever home I keep hearing about. Could that be you?
