About Romulus

Romulus is a charming senior cat who’s spent his life outdoors but is now ready to embrace life as someone's cherished indoor companion. This long-haired fellow is a true lovebug, relishing every bit of affection he can get. He adores curling up on laps for long stretches, soaking in head pets and cheek rubs, and he truly enjoys being picked up and held. After years outside, Romulus craves comfort, security, and a person to call his own. He’s shown that he can get along well with other cats, making him a fitting addition to a home with feline friends. Romulus is FIV-positive, which means he carries a virus that affects his immune system, but he can still lead a long, fulfilling life with the right care. His health status doesn’t define him; he's the same loving lap cat he has always been. One thing to note about Romulus: he finds moving feet quite enticing. As he adjusts to indoor life, he might swat or pounce on feet as a playful instinct, so a patient home will be essential to help teach him appropriate boundaries. Romulus deserves a tranquil retirement filled with cozy beds, warm laps, and all the love he can handle. He’s been waiting for a chance to enjoy this new chapter of his life. Could you be the one to provide him with a comforting and loving home?
