Adoption information
I've been adopted!
About Winston - Located in Endeavor Hills
Meet Winston!
Do you have lots of energy to get up and go? Yeah, neither does he. This dude just wants two things: somewhere comfy to sleep, and a toy he can chase for 2 minutes a day in between naps.
He is so large and soft, it's impossible not to fall asleep with him as soon as your head hits his pillowy side. He will let you pick him up, roll him around like a football: he is supremely relaxed and easygoing. Most of his teeth had to be removed, but that does not stop him from eating normal cat food.
He is FIV+, however as long as he is an indoor cat this is not going to be an issue. He loves other cats, he grooms them and naps with them all day. This guy is a total heartbreaker, apply today if you want a cuddle buddy like no other!

Medical notes
FIV+ cats live a normal life for many years and we cannot predict the life span of these cats. FIV positive cats sometimes have a scruffy coat and the condition can lead to chronic recurrent infections in the mouth, eye and skin. FIV cannot infect people, however it can infect other cats through bite wounds commonly from fights. FIV positive cats can co-exist with other cats that don't have FIV without issues.
We encourage that the cat is either an indoor cat or a confined cat - eg access to a cat run outdoors. We recommend regular vet visits (6 monthly) to monitor weight, coat changes, mouth etc.
