About Tom

Tom is a charming 6-year-old male tabby who weighs around 13 pounds. After being rescued from the streets following a dog attack, he has shown incredible resilience. With his FIV-positive status, Tom needs a special home where he can thrive alongside female cats, as he doesn’t get along with males and is quite fearful of dogs. Despite these challenges, he remains a sociable and affectionate companion who loves to play. High places are his favorite spots, whether it’s his cat tree or the couch, and his enthusiasm for wet food and Churu treats is a delight! He uses the litter box perfectly, making him a low-maintenance addition. Tom is ready for a loving home where he can have many happy years ahead. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
