Meet the charming Chestnut, the delightful male DSH orange tabby born around February 2022! This sweet boy knows how to steal hearts, lounging luxuriously on his favorite chair while soaking up all the love and attention. And trust me, he’s not shy about letting you know when it’s meal time! 🐱🍽️ With a voice that could charm the socks off anyone, he’ll ensure you never forget about feeding him! Now, let's get serious for a moment: Chestnut has FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus). But here’s the fabulous news—cats with FIV can live long, happy lives, just like any other cat! ❤️🐾 They can even coexist peacefully with other feline friends as long as they get along. Remember, FIV is primarily spread through deep bite wounds, so it’s all about finding the right feline friends for sweet Chestnut. This lovable lad has a heartwarming backstory that will make you smile. Once a neighborhood stray, Chestnut found his way to a caring person’s doorstep just as a snowstorm was brewing. Can you believe it? He showed up with a large wound on his side, but thanks to quick thinking and compassion, he received the medical attention he needed and has since healed wonderfully! This guy wasn’t just neutered but was also given a second chance at life—a life filled with warmth, love, and good food! 🌨️🐾 Currently, Chestnut lives harmoniously with a medium-sized senior dog, and while he’s okay with the barking frenzy during visitors' arrivals, he cherishes his quiet time. Ideally, he would thrive in a peaceful home with mellow feline companions or a quieter atmosphere overall. Life’s too short for stress, especially for our friend who needs that special low-stress environment! In terms of health, being FIV positive means he requires a little extra care: a low-stress environment, top-notch food, and regular veterinary checkups. But hey, that’s a small price to pay for this loving companion who just wants to bask in the sunshine of your affection. 🌞💖 Cuddles, snacks, and a cozy home are all Chestnut asks for—nothing too complicated!
