About Bob

Bob, short for Bobcat, arrived looking every bit the scruffy wildcat, skinny and unsure around people. Over time, and with plenty of patience, he’s learned that humans can be kind, and he’s blossomed into a gentle, observant soul. It took him just two days to master the litter box, and he comes running when called. Bob is curious about the world and keeps an eye on nearby dogs and cats, though he hasn't lived closely with other pets. His early shyness is slowly giving way to comfort with soft indoor beds, treats, and gentle attention. Bob does have special needs as he carries FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus), which means he’s extra vulnerable to infections and cannot live with FeLV-negative cats. He’ll need an adopter prepared for regular vet care and careful monitoring. Still, with good care, FeLV cats often enjoy long, happy lives. Bob is ready for a calm home, either as a solo cat or with another FeLV+ companion, where he can grow his confidence and finally settle in. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
