Meet Sebastian (FIV+) 🧡 Sebastian is about 3 years old and as sweet as they come. He came to us from a hoarding situation, but you’d never know it—this boy is pure resilience wrapped in orange-and-white charm. He absolutely adores other cats and has lived peacefully with dogs, too. With his gentle, friendly personality, we think he’d do just fine in a home with respectful children. Sebastian loves his meals (a true foodie at heart), enjoys batting around toys, and is happiest when he’s being held and doted on like the little prince he is. About FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus): Sebastian is FIV+, which sounds scary—but it really isn’t what people once thought. FIV is only spread through deep bite wounds (the kind that happen in serious fights), not through casual contact like sharing food bowls, grooming, or cuddling. Many FIV+ cats live long, happy, completely normal lives—and can safely live with non-FIV cats in a peaceful home.
