Matteo N. Very is an easygoing and gentle cat who has been through a lot. After being abandoned and fending for himself under cars, Matteo arrived shy and hesitant around people. He immediately connected with the other cats, finding comfort and companionship in their presence. Over time, he's found his courage, now coming forward for affection and play. Matteo's soft spirit and friendly attitude shine brightest with other cats, and he's become an affectionate presence who asks for pets and gentle attention. He’s tested positive for both FIV and FeLV, so his immune system isn’t as strong as most, but with regular care, he can still live a long, healthy life. He doesn’t require special medication, and he’d be happy in a home with other FeLV+ cats or as a solo companion. Matteo is neutered, vaccinated, and litter box reliable. He would bring calm companionship to a patient adopter, and his quiet, loving nature makes him a true comfort. Matteo is in New York, NY and eligible for foster-to-adopt, allowing you to be sure he’s the right fit. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
