Meet Hawthorn! 🌟 This striking 8-year-old brown tabby is not just a pretty face; he has a heart as big as his purrs! With his gentle soul, Hawthorn loves to embrace the simple joys of life—a plush bed, cozy corners for napping, and the company of kind souls who understand that every tabby needs their space! 💤💖 Once he feels safe and sound, his affectionate side will shine through like the sun, rewarding you with soft purrs and tranquil companionship. Hawthorn is currently on a special EN diet to pamper his tummy and is doing fantastically well with his meals. 🥗 His ideal forever home will maintain this loving care to help him thrive. Now, he's got a little secret—Hawthorn has FIV. But fear not! FIV cats can lead rich, fulfilling lives! He just needs a loving home that doesn't have FIV-negative cats to keep him feeling his best. If you are on the lookout for a mellow buddy who appreciates tender love yet enjoys a dash of personal space, Hawthorn could be your new best friend! 🐾 He's ready to sprinkle warmth, wisdom, and charm into your life. Plus, there's nothing quite like the soothing sound of a happy kitty purring beside you. Isn't that what everyone needs? Hawthorn can't wait to meet you!
