My story

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

Hi! I'm Hershey! I was rescued in Doha, Qatar . I was rescued from a colony where a caring human was feeding me and other kitties. She fell in love with me and knew I needed to get off the streets so she took me to a sanctuary where I flourished and showed just how pawsome I am. Then I went to a doctor to be vetted and that’s when they found out I'm FIV+. Unfortunately humans in Qatar think differently about FIV+ cats than they do here in the US so even knowing how amazing I am, my rescuers knew it would be difficult finding a home there and they worried I might end up back on the streets if in the wrong human hands.

I'm a handsome, confident, smart, sweet, and energetic kitty.

I was excited to greet my foster human and check out my foster home when I arrived. I settled in quickly and now I'm having such a great time playing, exploring, bird watching, receiving lots of attention, and relaxing. This indoor lifestyle is incredible! I get to chase and jump for toys, eat lots of yummy food, sleep on laps, and hang out with humans. I don't think it can get any better than this!

I'm looking for a home where I have lots of space to explore and run around, preferably with a multi-human family so I can receive lots of interactive playtime, love and attention. My energy will make you smile and my warmth will melt your heart!

One more thing, I started to get a little itchy on my tummy and started over grooming. They thought I might have a food allergy so they switched my chicken based food to a limited ingredient food with beef, duck, or venison and guess what! I’m feeling so much better now! Yay! I love to eat wet food and have a hearty appetite and will need my forever family to continue feeding me a limited ingredient diet but don’t worry, my food is available at almost all pet stores, both locally and online.

You see more of me in my foster home here @returnoftheyeti and my vacation foster home here @floofypeets.foster.

Concerned about me being FIV+? There's lots of informative reading material online to free you of any worries. I can live a long healthy life and safely with other cats, meow. Here's one website that offers some important information - Best Friends - FIV FAQs

Please note:

Hershey has tested positive for FIV.

More about this rescue

Every day adult and senior cats with treatable medical and behavioral conditions are euthanized. GIVE ME SHELTER's goal is to rescue these cats from certain death and place them into loving permanent homes.
GMS is a registered 501(c)3 organization and is dedicated to helping stop the overpopulation of unwanted and abandoned cats. We are a small group of dedicated volunteers who are committed to bettering the life of adult cats who no longer have a home to call their own. Every time you adopt from us, you allow us to save another cat that would have otherwise died. We receive new cats into our system almost every week. Our website is constantly being updated, so please check back often!
