My story

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

Bagger Vance might just be the nicest cat you have ever met. For some reason, he was abandoned outdoors and found himself depending on the kindness of neighborhood cat caretakers for his meals. He showed up one day with a large gash on the side of his face, and the caretaker took him to a vet. His wound is now healed, and he’s been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, but he tested positive for Feline AIDS (FIV).

FIV is spread primarily by deep bite wounds. Bagger, who is a *very* gentle guy, likely came out the losing end of a tussle with another tom. Because he is NOT a fighter, he poses no risk to other cats (and FIV cannot be transmitted to dogs). Bagger gets along extremely well with the cats and dogs in his foster home.

He LOVES rubs and scratches all the time, and is super quiet as he goes about exploring his great indoors. Bagger does like to scratch so definitely needs a good scratching post. He also loves canned food.

Mr. Vance's age is a complete mystery. One vet estimated he was 2 years old and a different vet estimated he is 10 years old. Either way, we think age is just a number and he has enough love to give to last a lifetime. Cats with Feline AIDS can live a normal life span.

To adopt you must first complete an adoption application and meet the cat either virtually or in person in its foster home. We do not do same day adoptions so, generally, we can only adopt within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
