Yes, he's Siamese. Yes, he's stunning. Yes, you stopped scrolling because of his face. And then you'll see this - Wallace is FIV and FeLV positive. Oop, did that make you hesitate? Ok. Let's pause for a minute.. Wallace isn't the kind of cat who throws himself at strangers. He's observant. Calculated. He studies you before deciding you're worth his time. He's a slow burn, the kind of connection that builds quietly and then lasts. When Wallace chooses you, it means something. He isn't cold. He's thoughtful. He wants to understand his world before relaxing into it. And once he does? You'll see the softness. The intelligence. The depth. Now, about his diagnosis. FIV affects the immune system, but many FIV+ cats live long, stable lives with routine vet care. It's primarily spread through deep bite wounds: not casual contact. FeLV is a bit different and does require that Wallace be: A. The only cat B. Living with other FeLV+ cats C. Living with cats who are vaccinated against FeLV. It can impact lifespan and immune health. It does mean he needs a committed, informed adopter. But it does not erase his worth. It does not make him less beautiful. It does not make him less deserving. If anything, it means he needs someone intentional. Someone patient. Someone who understands that the best things in life aren't instant. Wallace isn't for everyone. Even though everyone probably wants him because of his specific breed. He's for the person who sees past the diagnosis. The person who respects a slow introduction. The person who knows that when a reserved cat bonds, it's deep.
