My story

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

Meet Pekoe, the Purring Prince! Pekoe is a sweet, friendly lap cat with a heart as soft as his gorgeous medium-length fur. At just 2 1/2 years old, this confident and well-adjusted boy is ready to bring love and joy to his forever home. Whether it’s playtime with interactive toys or snuggling up on the couch, Pekoe thrives on love, attention, and companionship.

Pekoe loves people and will happily follow you around, coming when called like the clever boy that he is. His purrs are endless, and he simply can’t get enough petting. He’s a mellow guy who will easily adjust to his new home. He gets along wonderfully with other cats and loves playing and snuggling with his BFF, Tiana. If you're looking for 2 kitties, these two are amazing together and have become very bonded. Tiana keeps Pekoe entertained and they play hide and seek and trill all over their foster home looking for each other.

Pekoe does have FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), but it’s not a big deal! With proper care, FIV-positive cats like Pekoe can live long, healthy, and happy lives.

What you need to know about FIV:

FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus: It’s a slow-acting virus that can weaken a cat’s immune system over time, making them more susceptible to infections.
How it’s transmitted: FIV is spread through deep bite wounds between cats. Casual contact like grooming, sharing food bowls, or playing does not spread the virus so Pekoe can safely live with other friendly cats after proper introductions. FIV doesn’t spread to humans, dogs, or other non-feline pets.
Lifespan: With regular vet care and a stable, indoor environment, FIV-positive cats like Pekoe can live as long as FIV-negative cats.
Symptoms: Many FIV-positive cats show no symptoms for years. When properly cared for, they often live healthy, normal lives.
Care requirements: Keep Pekoe indoors to reduce exposure to potential infections, feed him a high-quality diet, and schedule regular veterinary check-ups to monitor his health.

Pekoe is ready to be your loyal companion and fill your life with purrs and love. Are you ready to give this extraordinary boy the forever home he deserves? Come meet Pekoe today—you’ll fall in love instantly! Approx. DOB: 3/10/22.
