About Cowboy

Cowboy is here, eagerly waiting for his forever family! This three-year-old boy loves to be brushed and will nuzzle against you for pets, showcasing his sweet and affectionate nature. When it’s time to play, grab a wand toy and watch Cowboy come alive with excitement. He’s hoping to find a home soon, one where he can settle in comfortably. Cowboy tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), but don’t let that deter you. Cats with FIV can lead long and happy lives, especially in a calm home with friendly felines. FIV is mainly spread through deep bite wounds, not casual interactions. Many FIV+ cats thrive even alongside FIV-negative companions, so a peaceful environment is key. This affectionate and playful cat is microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will be altered before adoption. Come meet Cowboy in person at the shelter! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
