🐾 Meet Pattie - A Quiet Soul Looking for a Peaceful Retirement 🖤 At nearly 10 years old, Pattie is a senior sweetheart with a gentle spirit who deserves a soft place to land. She came to us as a surrender from an unsuitable home, and while her past may not have been filled with love, we're determined her future will be. During her intake exam, we discovered Pattie is FIV positive -- that stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. FIV affects a cat's immune system, but with proper care, a stress-free indoor life, and regular vet visits, FIV+ cats like Pattie can live long, healthy lives. FIV is not easily transmitted -- it spreads primarily through deep bite wounds, which are rare in calm households -- so many FIV+ cats live peacefully with FIV-negative companions. 🌙 Pattie is incredibly shy and reserved. She'll need a slow, quiet transition into a home where she can feel safe and respected. Meet and greets may take time -- she's not the kind of cat to rush into new friendships, but she's the kind that blossoms with patience. 🏡 Pattie would do best in an adult-only home and may enjoy the company of another older, mellow cat who shares her appreciation for cozy corners and quiet moments. This lovely lady has been through a lot and just wants a calm, understanding forever home where she can relax and be herself. 🛏️ If you have a quiet heart and a cozy home to offer, Pattie just might be your perfect match. #AdoptPattie #SeniorCatLove #FIVCatAwareness #GentleHeartsClub #ShyCatSanctuary #AdoptDontShop
