Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This chill guy is Joey! He came to us from local animal control and is now ready to find a loving forever home to cherish him! He is around 5 years old and is a big guy, weighing 20 pounds. He enjoys gentle pets and watching his surroundings. He loves to plop down beside you and just be near you. He is also quite chatty! Joey doesn't seem to mind most other cats, although he is very big so would need to be well-matched with the other cat in the home. - Joey is FIV+. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus is spread to other cats through deep-muscular bite wounds or sometimes in utero. It is not contagious to dogs or humans. Cat friendly cats with FIV can live with other cats who are negative for FIV as long as both are friendly. It is crucial that FIV cats remain indoors only and are kept up to date on vaccines. Most FIV+ cats can live normal lives.

It’s important that you know that we’re a private shelter 501(3)(c) not-for-profit that receives no federal or local government dollars to run our facility and care for pets. In fact the shelter relies on generous donations from people just like you to make it all happen.
