About Sutherland
Sutherland’s story is written all over his battered body, a survivor of street life who arrived at the shelter with battle scars and a nasty upper respiratory infection. Since then, he’s healed, been neutered, and proven himself a sweet, people-loving cat despite all he’s endured. Sutherland is not shy about asking for attention and adores a good brushing, tasty treats, and absolutely every ounce of affection he can get. His forever home should be quiet without other pets or children—he’s made it clear that he enjoys the spotlight and isn’t interested in sharing his humans with other animals. He breathes with a chronic, sniffly congestion—think of a toddler with a cold—which means sometimes you’ll need to wipe his nose, but it doesn’t seem to slow him down or bother him. Sutherland is FIV+, but that won’t stop him from living a long, happy life in a caring home. After years on the street fighting for survival, this loving senior just wants peace, warmth, and the attention he never got to have before. Start your journey together! Apply now.
