Buttons #bus-stop-buddy

My story

PLUS-SIZE IS MORE TO HUG  DOB 5/22/23 Hey there, everyone! I’m Buttons, a sweet, affectionate, and cuddly brown tuxedo-tabby fella with a white mask on my face, vest on my chest, and mittens on my paws. I must admit that I’m pretty handsome with my big, innocent green eyes. When I’m up in Foster Meowmy’s lap, I nudge her to remind her that I love to have my ears, chin, and cheeks scratched. I’m a calm, easygoing Gentle Giant who doesn’t let much phase me – whether it’s traveling in my carrier in the car or being right next to other cats at adoption events. Although there are no kids, dogs, or other cats in my foster home, more than likely I’d adjust well to them in my adoptive home just because I’m so relaxed about life in general. My foster pawrents found me as a friendly stray who was hanging around a neighborhood bus stop. Thank heavens they scooped me up and brought me home with promises to find me forever pawrents. I heard Foster Meowmy tell someone recently, “Buttons has been stealing hearts ever since.” I’m not surprised because I’m an exceptionally amiable cat – who wouldn’t fall in love with me? If I was someone’s pet and they dumped me, I’ll never tell! Unfortunately that’s what Foster Meowmy surmises because so many people can’t afford to take care of their beloved pets in this inflationary environment. I’m bummed to report that when Foster Meowmy got me fully vetted, I tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV+), which I probably contracted from the deep bite wound from an intact male cat. (Unlike Feline Leukemia, FIV is NOT passed on "casually" by sharing food bowls and litter boxes with other household cats.) Being FIV positive means that I should live an average life span as long as my dental health is routinely monitored and prompt attention is given to any urinary-tract or upper-respiratory infections. Anyway, you’d never know that I’m FIV+ by my plus-size physique. I figure I’ve just got more to hug! I definitely don’t let the FIV slow me down one bit or stop me from being the Perfect Furry Companion. Now I’m ready to bring my heart full of love and peaceful disposition to my forever home. I predict that I’d fit like a glove into many household dynamics – from binging on Netflix with an elderly single to sleeping in bed every night while a little girl cuddles me. Just use your imagination of all the roles I could fill – maybe one or two with your family? Arrange to meet me today! Incidentally, there are advantages to adopting a kitty like me who's beyond the stage of kitten mayhem. I'm much less likely to cause chaos in your home or break any of your treasured accessories.
