About Eugene FIV+

Eugene is settling comfortably into his indoor retirement after being brought in from the cold. He soaks up every minute of attention, happily leaning in for deeper head rubs and keeping up with his foster mom to stay close while purring away. Eugene isn't fussy—no special toys needed, just company and a gentle hand. He’s a sweet, mild-mannered cat who’s loyal to his litter box and has simple tastes at mealtime. At around ten years old, Eugene is unmistakably a "grandpa cat" who will do best in a quiet home where he can enjoy calm and affection. Loyal and drama-free, he gives back plenty of love to anyone willing to return it. Eugene is FIV positive and should be your only cat or live with another friendly FIV-positive cat, as FIV is mainly transmitted through bites and means his immune system isn’t as robust. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and his adoption fee is fully sponsored for qualified adopters. Click apply to start the adoption process.
