About Hawthorn
Hawthorn is an almost 9-year-old brown tabby with a gentle soul and a playful streak. He's cautious with new people at first, but once trust is built, Hawthorn becomes truly affectionate, forging solid connections with those who care for him. He's used to living with other cats and shows he can live peacefully around dogs if they're introduced thoughtfully and at a pace he's comfortable with. Give him some interactive toys and you'll see his curious, fun-loving personality shine through. Hawthorn is FIV-positive, so he should be the only cat or share a home with other FIV-positive cats. He must be kept indoors to stay safe and healthy. He eats a special HA diet due to his allergies. If you are patient and gentle, Hawthorn will reward you with loyal companionship and plenty of moments that make you smile. Born August 13, Hawthorn falls under the Leo sun sign—this might explain his bold heart and affectionate nature. Give this tabby the safe, loving home he deserves. What are you waiting for?
