Jessie

Jessie is a very sweet, handsome and calm cat who loves to be in human company and pretty much anyone who wants to hang out with him - he is even great with kids! Jessie will always greet you with his meows, head butts, and pigeon-like purrrs. Even though he is very calm, don't be fooled – he loves to play! Jessie is 4 years old so he is still very young and has so much love to give. Jessie is such a cool-cat and his foster mom thinks of him as a dog inside of a cat's body. Jessie does have a ear deformity but to us he is beautiful inside and out! His passive personality makes him a great cat for any household too. He gets along with other cats and kids. He is just a lover. You will fall in love with this stud as soon as you meet him! Oh and also like a dog- he loves belly rubs and bedtime cuddles! Jessie does need some daily fiber pills in his food but other than that he does require much other than love. Jessie is FIV+ which isn’t a huge deal since FIV can only be transmitted through very deep flesh wounds to another cat and Jessie wouldn't hurt any other cat. FIV is only a feline autoimmune disease that is dormant usually during their whole lives. FIV does not require medication and Jessie is a normal, healthy cat. FIV cats live normal healthy lives and the only way FIV effects cats is as a secondary symptom. For example, if he were to get an upper respiratory infection it “may” take Jessie a day or two more to get over it versus a non-FIV cat. I say "may" because sometimes there are no symptoms to FIV at all. Below are links that are helpful to understanding FIV if you are not familiar with it but overall Jessie is a healthy and amazing boy. Anyone would truly be lucky to have him. His sweet nature is so heartwarming and he can’t wait to show his family his amazing personality. Jessie can't wait for his bright future ahead! Adoption fee is $75.
