My name is Corina!

** FIV positive **

My friends and I were a transplant from another rescue in Mississauga that was shutting down. I made a lovely first impression for a while of hissing at you and glaring daggers anytime eye contact was made. With much time and patience, my hardy exterior slowly crumbled. I’ve certainly come a long way since, but I am by no means perfect. I like humans now, but only on my terms. I’m happy to approach you and give you headbutts, and that’s my signal to you that I’m willing to receive affection. I do not like being picked up. I’m also quick to let you know when I’m done with a gentle swat or nibble. I am very food motivated, especially tube treats and freeze dried chicken, and I really, really love chicken nuggets and French fries. I indulge in toys sometimes and I enjoy my catnip, but I’m mostly about my people and foods. I’m very healthy for my age, and I recently recovered from a dental surgery where I had a couple of extractions. I do have FIV which essentially means I have a weakened immune system, and am more susceptible to disease/infection. I require no additional treatment than that of a non-FIV cat, just a low-stress environment with a quality diet and routine vet care. I tolerate other cats quite well, so I’m happy to either go to a home with another friend, or by myself.Applications are reviewed in order received until an appropriate match is made.
