Ralphie

My story

Meet Ralphie, a tabby with a resilient spirit and a heart of gold. Rescued from the streets after surviving a severe injury, Ralphie has made a remarkable recovery and is now in search of his loving forever home-preferably with plenty of cozy indoor spots! Despite his tough past, Ralphie's affectionate nature shines brightly. He adores catnip, relishes belly rubs, and cherishes lazy afternoons napping in his cat tree under the warm sun. Known for his calm demeanor, Ralphie is not just a survivor, but a gentle soul who loves to chat and will often greet you with his sweet meows. His vet often remarks on his incredible kindness, noting that despite enduring great pain, Ralphie has never lost his loving touch. If you're looking for a loyal feline friend who can bring joy and laughter into your life, Ralphie might just be your perfect match! He has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). FIV is not a big deal; given proper care and attention, an FIV+ cat will live the same lifespan as an FIV negative cat. The disease is extremely hard to transmit from cat to cat, requiring direct blood contact (typically from a deep puncture wound). It is not transmissable to humans.
