Bogart
AvailableBogart lives in Meriden, CT and is a domestic short hair cat, around 6 years and 6 months old. He’s a medium-sized, neutered male who’s had a tough journey but is now up to date on all vaccinations and tested FIV positive. While he isn’t looking for much human touch, Bogart does appreciate the company of other cats and needs daily medication to manage his stomatitis.
About Bogart
Bogart came in with a rough history: found outside with severe urine burns, he still carries the marks of a tough life. He won’t be a lap cat—at least not anytime soon—but he has his way of showing affection, like cuddling up to another cat (never a human, for now). His trust is hard to win, and he isn’t interested in pets or handling, but he does enjoy licking up smooth bisque-type food or squeeze-ups. Bogart needs a patient and gentle adopter, ideally someone who already has a cat, since he warms up to feline friends more easily than people. He’s FIV positive, which sounds scarier than it is: there’s no daily treatment for it, no special accommodations beyond regular care, and FIV only spreads by deep bites—not by grooming or sharing bowls or boxes. Bogart does have a stubborn case of stomatitis, needing daily low-cost oral meds for pain and inflammation. Medicating him is a bit of a rodeo, so you’ll want thick gloves and some patience. A slow, gentle approach works best, and you’ll likely earn yourself a swat now and then. Bogart is about 6 and a half years old, neutered, and vaccinated. Meeting him more than once before adopting is required. Give this misunderstood boy a chance to find some comfort and stability. What are you waiting for? Apply today!

Questions about Bogart
What type of living environment is this breed usually best suited for?
Bogart, as a domestic short hair, does best in a quiet, stable indoor environment. Because of his history and FIV status, a calm home—especially one with another cat for companionship—will help him thrive.
How much outdoor space does this breed typically need?
Bogart should remain indoors for his safety, particularly with his FIV status. Domestic short hairs like him don’t require outdoor access and typically fare better inside.
Is this breed typically suitable for homes with children?
Domestic short hairs can live with children, but considering Bogart’s discomfort with human contact and preference for feline friends, a home without young kids is best.
