About Iverson

Iverson came in from the streets of Chicago after surviving a harsh winter and an injured leg, living up to the strength behind his Old Norse-inspired name. Despite the tough break, he's pulled through and is now fully cleared for adoption. Iverson is neutered, vaccinated, and FeLV negative. Although he is FIV positive, this condition just means a bit of extra care to keep him thriving. FIV-positive cats are capable of long, happy lives, but they are indeed more prone to secondary infections, so keeping up with his health is important. The team at Heartland can walk you through what that means for day-to-day life. Iverson is a senior cat looking for someone ready to give him their best. He doesn’t require an appointment to meet—just drop by the Heartland facility during open hours. Click apply to start the adoption process.
