About Wizard

Wizard came into rescue with a tough hand: ulcers in both eyes, a skin fungus, and a positive FIV status. The good news—those eye ulcers are fully healed now. He’ll always have some scarring, but it doesn’t slow him down or dull his curiosity. Wizard is comfortable, content, and sees the world with a brighter outlook these days. He’s a large, short-haired male who enjoys exploring and seeks out friendly interaction. Wizard does not get along with dogs, so a dog-free home is best. He’s already neutered, house trained, and up to date on his vaccinations. Born January 1, Wizard falls under the reliable Capricorn sun—steady, devoted, and a quiet survivor.
