My story

Snuggly, Happy, Social Pura Vida lives up to the spirit of his name—life is purely simple and good! He warms up quickly to new people and loves hanging out nearby while you go about your day. Come nighttime, he’s ready to curl up and snooze right by your pillow, often wrapped gently around your head. He’s a very respectful kitty—no early wake-up calls here. Pura Vida patiently waits for your eyes to open before starting the day. It doesn’t take much to keep this chill guy content. A sunny window perch by day, some quality Cat TV by night, and he’s living the dream. He’s laidback at heart, but lights up when he sees the people he loves. Whether it’s his foster or their friends, Pura Vida is quick to offer a warm welcome. He’s a social soul and a bit of a Velcro kitty—where you go, he wants to be. Pura Vida would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time. He loves companionship and returns every bit of affection you give. This sleek, handsome feline will be a delightful addition to any home. Reach out to APA! today to bring Pura Vida home and let the good times roll! Pura Vida has tested positive for Feline Leukemia. FeLV is not a type of cancer. It's a virus that causes a weaker immune system and often a shorter life-span. For the most part, 'FeLVies' are just like any other cat. APA! waives the adoption fees of these cats, and provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption. Pura Vida can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine! Any questions? We'd love to talk with you about FeLV care. All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Pura Vida, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
