About Simon

Simon came in from the streets and has truly flourished with indoor living. He has coexisted well with other cats and is strictly not suited to a home with dogs. He is genuinely sweet-natured—a fantastic fit for a family setting and especially fond of children. Simon would thrive in a lively household where he can receive the love and attention he craves. Estimated to be between 4 and 5 years old, Simon is a neutered male. His medium tabby coat stays plush and clean with regular care. He is vaccinated, microchipped, Feline leukemia negative, and FIV positive, but this diagnosis doesn’t slow him down or require extra care—FIV cats do just fine with regular vet care and a stable indoor life. Simon is up to date on flea and tick prevention, well-mannered, and uses his litter box.
