Meet Mateo, the incredible kitty who has truly beaten the odds! 🐱✨ Imagine finding a charming feline like Mateo, once hiding under a car in a parking lot, feeling lost and alone. He was in rough shape, incredibly thin, and battling an upper respiratory infection. But don't worry! With the love of wonderful humans, he’s bounced back beautifully. After receiving a full mouth extraction, a neutering procedure, and all his vaccinations, he’s ready and waiting for a new family to call his own! Now, let’s talk about his special condition—Mateo is FIV positive. 🦠 But don’t let that scare you! With the right care, nutrition, and a sprinkle of love, FIV positive cats like Mateo can live long, vibrant lives. Plus, FIV is only transmitted through deep bite wounds, so as long as the resident felines are friendly, Mateo can coexist peacefully with FIV negative friends! Talk about a bridge-builder! ❤️ At around 4 years old, Mateo is a delightful blend of friendliness and confidence. He’s not just your average cat; he’s got the charm of a future politician, strutting around like he owns the place and greeting everyone with joy! Picture him exploring every nook of the office, spreading cheer like confetti on a parade day. 🎉 And let’s not forget about his adorable bond with little Gary, the female cat who has stolen his heart! They are often spotted in a cute cuddle session, grooming each other like the best of pals. It’s a heartwarming sight that will leave you saying, "Aww!" 😻 In Mateo, you’ll find a furry friend who is happy, grateful, and ready to share his love with you. He’s a true testament to resilience and transformation, reminding us all that love can heal. Let your heart and home expand for this adorable fellow!
