Birthday: July 2, 2022. Thomas spent his early life in a tough spot, and it took him a bit to come out of his shell. Since arriving at the rescue, he's gotten much braver and started trusting people again. These days, he's happiest curled up beside someone he trusts. Timid at first, Thomas warms up quickly to gentle attention. Scratch his head, stroke his back, and you’ll see him become the definition of cozy. When he chooses to share the sofa or bed with you, it feels like you’ve won the lottery. He’s FIV+, which means his immune system is sensitive, but with good care, he can live a long, happy life. He can safely live with other friendly cats, and his condition isn’t a risk to humans. He’s not a fan of being picked up and might complain, but he’s gentle through and through—no claws, just some good-natured fussing. Thomas is smart too: he knows how to “sit” for snacks, and he keeps himself busy chasing wand toys or batting strings around the house. In the right home, he’ll be a loyal, affectionate companion. By the way, Thomas is a Cancer, so it tracks he’s happiest napping and being close to you. Ready to make the leap? LCCR requires all kitties to be indoor-only and not declawed.
