About Bob

Bob is a big, memorable guy who has come a long way from his days on the street. After years as a neighborhood stray, he’s settled into indoor life and clearly loves the upgrade. Life outdoors left Bob with plenty of stories, but also some hard knocks; he came in sick with a terrible cold and badly needed safety. He risked his life crossing busy streets, just to find a meal or a bit of kindness. Now, Bob embraces comfort—and offers plenty of gentle headbutts in return. He’s about 5 to 7 years old, adult, and has already been through a successful surgery for an eye issue caused by inward-growing lashes. Bob is FIV+, but don’t let that worry you—he still gets along well with other friendly cats. His easy temperament makes him a good fit for many homes. He’s house trained and adapts well to indoor life, thriving with a calm environment and camaraderie. Your couch (and any social cats you already have) will be lucky to meet him.
