Dickens is a striking, spotted cat with glowing gold eyes who bounced back after a rough start. He was discovered as a stray after being hit by a snowplow, but quick action and good fortune meant his injuries weren’t life-threatening. With care, he healed and settled into foster life, where he stood out for his resilience. Dickens was treated for FIP early on, responding well to medication and a loving home. He also has mild, manageable herpes in his eyes—just requires occasional gentle cleaning and Lysine to keep him comfortable; his vision is perfectly fine. He is all personality: eager for pets, quick to melt into your hand, and always ready to chase a wand toy. Dickens sleeps soundly with his foster mom and isn’t fazed by much—he’s described as "perfect" and truly fearless. Friendly and outgoing, he thrives in a multi-cat home and actually prefers having another playful feline around. His gentle, sweet temperament makes him a great fit for families with children, couples, or singles alike. Dickens is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He’s almost two years old, and as a June baby, he’s a lively Gemini—don’t be surprised by his playful curiosity. Visits can be arranged to meet Dickens in his foster home.
