Hello, I’m Gray, the most handsome cat around. And I can’t wait to find a forever home to call my very own!
I’m just a sweet guy and I’m looking for a quiet, loving forever home to give all my love to. You see, I am pretty shy whenI’m first in a new situation and will spend the first few weeks in a new home in a safe hiding spot. But once I’ve had a few weeks to build trust with you, I’m a total love! As you can see from my pictures, I now enjoy being pet by my foster mom and I have a sweet, goofy personality starting to emerge.
I’m still a work in progress in feeling totally confident but I know I will get there with love and patience! We will have to learn that about me together. I know you introverts out there can understand. I am experienced with travel and am perfectly willing to climb into my transportation crate. I will be best in a home without other cats due to my medical needs (see below) and I haven’t met any dogs yet but I think I’d be ok with a dog who gave me plenty of space and understanding.
On a medical note, I unfortunately tested positive for FeLV (2020/2021 has not been my favorite year!) FeLV is a virus that affects a cat’s immune system. It is not contagious to humans or dogs but it is very contagious to other cats so I need to be the only cat in my forever home. Cats with FeLV live very normal lives until the virus causes a cat to feel really sick really quickly. So while I likely won’t have a lot of medical costs surrounding my diagnosis, FeLV doesn’t have a long life expectancy (usually 2-3yrs on average) so I need a forever family who can just love me and understand I may not have a ton of years to offer as a companion.
If you have compassion for a cat who has just been through a lot and needs that extra love and understanding, contact my friends at PawsCo at adopt@pawscoadoptions.org or learn more about PawsCo’s application process at https://pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process. I promise I will be forever grateful!
