My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Barley is a retired bodega cat who was put out on the streets and unable to defend himself. He’s not even two years old yet, but has had quite a wild life and is ready to settle down! According to the colony caretaker that rescued him, he was being beat up by other male cats, and recently tested FIV+ as a result. Unfixed males fight constantly over territory, this is a big source of serious injuries and one of the primary ways FIV (feline immunododeficiency virus) can spread. Once male cats are neutered, they are less aggressive due to decreased hormone production, and significantly less likely to spread or receive FIV through fighting. As many of you know, cats with FIV can live long, healthy and happy lives provided they receive routine vet care. A sterilized FIV+ cat can live with other cats who are negative with minimal to no risk of infection. Barley is a very tender boi and much better suited for pampered indoor VIP life! Given his young age, we’re hoping to find him a home with another friend, but will also accept solo applications from folks who could be home with him a lot.
