About Petey

Petey was rescued after being found outside with a serious wound on his back that had been stapled and left open. He’s now had surgery, and the wound is closed. Through all of this, Petey has stayed incredibly friendly. No one’s sure why someone left him to fend for himself, but what’s clear is that Petey still trusts people and just wants safe indoor life. Born around February 2018, he is FIV positive, but that doesn’t stop him from living a full, happy life indoors—he can even live peacefully with other cats. Petey is proof that resilience and affection go hand in hand. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
