🌟 Meet Portobello, the Gentle Soul on the Mend! 🖤 At just 3 years old, this darling has experienced more than most, and it's time for him to get the love he truly deserves! Thanks to a Good Samaritan, he was rescued from a life of hardship as a very sick and injured stray—alone and scared. How heartbreaking, right? But don't you worry, because with a dose of patience, love, and compassion, Portobello is on the road to recovery. Now, here’s the scoop—Portobello is FIV positive (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). Don’t let that scare you! FIV affects a cat’s immune system, but here’s the good news: FIV+ cats can still live long, happy lives with a little extra care and a safe indoor environment. It’s not easily spread, so don't fret; these lovely cats can often coexist with FIV-negative friends in peaceful homes! 🌈 Underneath his cautious exterior, Portobello is an incredibly sweet soul who just needs to feel secure. When he’s comfy, oh boy, that softness shines brighter than a diamond! This precious boy needs a very special adopter—someone with a gentle touch and plenty of time to allow him to blossom in a quiet, loving space. 🏡 🌼 Ideal Home: He would thrive with a calm older couple or individual who knows the beauty of building a slow bond. Portobello prefers a serene home without children or dogs, though he might appreciate a gentle, cat-savvy feline companion to share his space. Every day, our dear Portobello is becoming braver and braver! Isn’t that inspiring? 🌙 Could you be the kind, loving person who helps him discover what security and affection truly feel like? There’s a heart full of love waiting to bloom! ✨ If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this quiet, gentle soul, please apply to adopt Portobello through the Buddy App! Your compassion could change his life forever!
