About Johnny

Meet Johnny! Johnny is a 4-year-old sweet big boy who appreciates his space just as much as he enjoys being close to you. He often wanders behind you as you change rooms and picks a favorite spot for daytime napping. When he's feeling playful, he lights up at the sight of a laser pointer, dashing around your home. He also loves catnip toys, flinging them in the air to catch them. While Johnny isn't a lap cat, he'll cozy up next to you on the couch or in bed, often stretching out alongside you when you wake up. He's quite vocal, chirping to let you know when he's around and keeping you company. As a loving solo cat, Johnny is ready to bring joy to your life. He is FIV positive, which means he can live harmoniously with other FIV+ cats or FIV- cats with proper introductions. Don't worry; FIV+ cats can lead happy lives when given good nutrition and lots of love. Johnny is neutered and vaccinated, and your adoption donation helps support our rescue efforts. If you’re interested in this charming guy, apply to meet him today!
