Ned Fiv+ is the definition of a comeback story. At around 10 years old, this senior Domestic Short Hair spent most of his life outside, never knowing a kind hand or soft blanket until his rescue. Life on the street left him with severe stomatitis—painful mouth inflammation that made even eating nearly impossible, and grooming fell by the wayside. After a full-mouth extraction, Ned returned from the brink and is now a healthy, affectionate companion craving close contact and soft beds. He thrives in a lively home with people (young and old) to dote on him, content to cuddle under blankets and lounge on laps like the big teddy bear he is. Despite having no teeth, he handles canned mousse and dry food well. While he gets along with other cats, Ned isn’t interested in dogs but loves being part of a family. Ned is FIV positive, but don’t let that deter you: he doesn’t need medication, and the virus is only transmissible between unneutered cats through bad fights—hardly a worry for a mellow, toothless guy like him. The real risk is minimal, and he’ll remain healthy as an indoor housecat. Ned is neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FeLV, dewormed, and microchipped—ready for a safe, loving forever home in Homer Glen, IL. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
