Squeaks FIV+

My story

Meet Squeaks – Your Future Lap Cat Extraordinaire! Squeaks is a handsome 2-year-old brown-black tabby with a heart as soft as his furry cheeks, looking for his forever home. Though he may be a little reserved at first, once he knows he’s safe, this guy transforms into the ultimate cuddle bug. This sweet boy loves gentle pets, head scratches, and will happily curl up on your lap, purring himself into a cozy nap. While Squeaks is still figuring out the whole ""toy"" thing, he enjoys watching his foster siblings play and occasionally bats at a toy himself. With time (and a little catnip encouragement), he’ll surely find his playful side! He’s a kind and curious companion to other cats, choosing to run and hide rather than stir up any trouble if another kitty isn’t as friendly. Along with figuring out toys, he's hasn't figured out what a meow sounds like...hence his name, Squeaks! Squeaks is also the proud owner of what his foster mom calls *Resting Purr Face*—his expression may say “mildly annoyed,” but his deep, steady purring tells the real story. Squeaks has a relaxed energy level that says, ""let's chill and binge Bob's Burgers all day."" This mellow dude currently lives with a 10- and 12-year-old that he prefers to snuggle with at bedtime, along with two resident cats about his age. During the day, his foster mom’s lap is his favorite place to relax. Squeaks is FIV+, but that doesn’t mean he can’t live a long, normal, and healthy life! Cats with FIV commonly have average lifespans. Because FIV is spread only through deep bite wounds, FIV positive cats are able to live with FIV negative cats in stable social environments.

Squeaks prefers a calm environment and can be a bit jumpy around loud noises, so he appreciates having a small, comfy hideaway—like under a bed—where he can retreat when he needs a moment. His favorite pastimes include watching birds from the window and lounging in his foster mom’s catio, where he can spy on the squirrels in a safe and secure space. Squeaks would thrive in a home with a fellow chill, friendly resident cat (he hasn’t met a dog yet) and loving forever people (gentle older kids are okay), ready to spend lots of time with him—showering him with all the love, pets, and a warm lap to call his own. If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who just needs a little time to warm up, Squeaks might be your perfect match! Interested in adopting or learning more about this cat?
