About Romeo

Meet Romeo, our lovable companion. Previously owned by a family with small children, he struggled to get the affection he craved. Now in his foster home, he’s adjusted wonderfully and delights in the attention he receives from older kids (we recommend children 8 and older). Whether you need a lap cat for cozy evenings or a warm pillow-fellow, Romeo fits the bill perfectly. Though he is FIV+, Romeo is healthy and behaves like a playful kitten. He enjoys the company of other cats and can coexist harmoniously with them. However, he isn’t keen on dogs and would be happy as an only cat or with feline siblings. Once you meet Romeo, you’re bound to fall in love. Born on February 1, 2023, he's neutered, up to date with vaccinations, FIV positive, negative for FELV, and microchipped. You can visit him in his foster home or at adoption events on select days at Petco Bricktown Way or PetSmart Forest Ave. Adoption involves a home visit, and for more information on the process, reach out to SICAW at 718.948.5623, Mon-Sat 9am-8pm.
