Meet Tober (FIV+)

Tober is a 5-year-old, tender-loving tomcat looking for his forever home! This handsome orange-buff guy was found living outside with an apparent eye injury. He was meant to be trapped, neutered, and released, but his finders did not like the idea of putting a cat back outside to survive with only one good eye and broken teeth, so they decided to see if he could get along well with people. After learning to trust his foster it was all uphill from there! Now he always wants to be by her side, and even likes to be picked up, held, and given some good ear scratches! I think in his own home he would want to be someone’s shadow and snuggle a lot! He loves catnip and will occasionally chase a string toy, but mostly he just wants to follow his fosters around and get food, treats, and pets! Tober’s energy seems medium to low, but he has been regaining his health after recovering from an ear infection. He may be livelier when he is not just a “guest” but a permanent resident with a forever person or family. He really likes living with another foster cat in the home, a younger female. She tolerates him but he LOVES her. He is always trying to rub on her. I never see them sleep or play together, but I think Tober would love a brother or other playmate to love. He also would not mind one bit to be the only pet and center of someone’s attention, if they work from home and/or are around a lot. He’s just a lover! This lovely guy lives in his foster’s basement with another foster cat that he knew while living outside. He loves to look out the big window down there and find warm, cozy beds out in the open to sleep. This affectionate fellow does well with cats and children; he hasn’t met any dogs yet). Tober is still a little new to the indoor cat life and would do best in a new home that is somewhat quiet and has a person or people who are able to spend a good amount of time with him. He really seems to want his foster person’s attention a lot, after spending who knows how long living alone outside. This sweet boy has an old eye injury that has healed. He is blind in his right eye, and it is cloudy and white. It does not hurt him, and he can live a happy and normal life with it. He also has some broken teeth, so would benefit from regular dental care. Tober is FIV+, but that doesn’t mean he can’t live a long, normal, and healthy life! Cats with FIV commonly have average lifespans. Because FIV is spread only through deep bite wounds, FIV positive cats are able to live with FIV negative cats in stable social environments. You can read more about FIV here: https://tinyurl.com/58sf9wtj. He currently lives with another foster cat who is FIV negative and does great!This charming, loving boy is so worth it! He has lived the rough outdoor life and is so excited to settle in for a warm, cozy new start as someone’s number one, loving fan. Could that be with you?
