About Gomez

Gomez is a gentle, affectionate cat who was left to survive outside on his own. He’s estimated to be between 7 and 9 years old and has tested FIV-positive—most likely from scrapping with other unneutered males over territory. Now neutered and thriving as an indoor cat, Gomez has really settled into a relaxed, easygoing life. There’s a stigma around FIV that doesn’t match reality. FIV-positive cats, like Gomez, can live long, happy lives and pose little risk to other cats, especially if everyone is spayed or neutered and indoor. Transmission requires deep bite wounds, not casual contact or shared food bowls. With an attentive adopter, regular vet care, and a calm environment, Gomez will do just as well as any other cat. He’s ready to put his hard past behind him and find someone willing to see his gentle heart. If you’re open to giving him that shot, you’ll gain a loyal, grateful companion in return.
