My personality

My story

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

Grandpa Hairy is a nice boy and a true gentleman who loves pets and loves to be around people. He is very affectionate. Grandpa is FIV positive. Cats with FIV transmit FIV through bites, but Grandpa here has no teeth. They were removed due to dental issues. He gets along well with other cats and most vets say it is fine for a cat with FIV to be around other cats. Don't overlook this wonderful guy!

More about this rescue

Mr. Grey's Strays is a 501(c)(3) in Brockport, NY run by Joane Traber. This organization started in 2013 as just a TNVR program. As needs changed, she started taking in cats to adopt to potential families. In 2020, she was able to get a building where she could house all the cats and be able to save more. In 2021, she adopted out 400+ cats and had 200+ cats in the TNVR program. 600+ cats were vetted and given a clean bill of health in just one year of having the building, the building doubled the amount of cats that could be saved. Mr. Grey's Stays gets its name from a cat named, Mr. Grey. Mr. Grey was a special cat, he was nice to everyone he met and he let all the other kitties know that it was okay, to not be scared. Now Mr. Grey lives here in spirit as more outdoor cats find homes and more are vetted and released. Joane is an amazing woman and as she started taking in more cats, she also needed to find more hands to make sure the cats could be taken care of. She relies solely on volunteers daily to feed the kitties, scoop their litterboxes, and maintain a clean environment for the kitties. In addition to relying on volunteers, she also relies on donations of supplies or monetary donations in order to have the things she needs to care for the kitties. It surely takes a lot of caring people to make sure these kitties are taken care of.
