Cinnamon

Meet Cinnamon! As his name suggests, Cinnamon is all sugar, spice, and everything nice. This six-year-old "ginger scroll" is a healing soul looking for a forever home where he can finally settle into a life of luxury.

Cinnamon can be a little shy when you first meet him, but give him a few minutes and his gentle personality truly shines. If you want to fast-track the friendship, just open a creamy treat! The moment that wrapper rips, his tiny nose starts working overtime, and his bashful nature disappears in favor of his love for snacks. Once he knows you're a friend, he absolutely adores affectionate head rubs and "squidges," leaning into your hand with the sweetest purrs.

Cinnamon is what we call an "indoor-only" gentleman. This is because he is FIV positive (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). While that might sound a bit formal, it's really quite simple: it just means his immune system is a little less "tough" than other cats.

Living with an FIV+ cat is very similar to living with any other cat! He just needs to stay safely indoors to keep him away from outside germs and to protect the local cat community. With a high-quality diet, regular vet check-ups, and plenty of love, FIV+ cats like Cinnamon can live long, happy, and completely normal lives. He is more than happy to trade the outdoor life for a sunny windowsill and a cozy couch!

If you're searching for a darling companion with a tender heart (and a serious weakness for treats), Cinnamon is waiting for you at our North Melbourne shelter.
