About Bob

Meet Bob, short for Bobcat—a resilient, gentle spirit who started off timid and scruffy, unsure of the world. With patience and kindness from his rescuers, Bob's true personality is emerging: he's curious, observant, and finding his confidence each day. In just two days, he mastered the litter box and will now come when called, soaking up attention and new experiences like a sponge. While Bob hasn't mingled closely with other pets, he observes both cats and dogs calmly, showing the beginnings of a social, adaptable nature. He’s ready for the comforts of an indoor home, from a soft bed to plenty of tasty treats and, most importantly, someone willing to shower him in affection. Bob does have a special need: he is FeLV positive (Feline Leukemia Virus), a condition that simply requires monitoring, a balanced diet, and regular vet care. It’s important Bob not live with FeLV-negative cats—but he’s great with people and could co-exist with another FeLV-positive feline. He’s looking for a safe, committed home ready to make a real difference. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
