BeeBee is a female, medium-sized, adult Domestic Short Hair with a buff orange tabby coat, currently at the Winona Area Humane Society. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and is house trained. BeeBee is FIV positive, so she will need to be in a home either with no other cats or only with FIV+ feline companions. Her short coat makes grooming a breeze, and her resilient spirit shines through her gentle nature. Born in February, she's about 8 years old and ready for a loving, indoor-only home where she can thrive.

Her affectionate nature shines through in gentle greetings, soft purrs, and she is comfortable being held once she feels at ease with someone. BeeBee’s ideal home is a little more specific than most cats: she is FIV positive, so her adopter should either have no other cats or only welcome FIV+ feline friends. This condition doesn’t require special care, but she does need to stay safely indoors and enjoy routine checkups to keep her happy and healthy for years to come. BeeBee is a resilient cat who’s ready for her second chance. If you can provide the safe, loving environment she needs, consider opening your heart and home to this remarkable orange tabby.
