About Morpheus

Meet Morpheus! If you’re a fan of delightful feline affection, he’s the choice for you. This stunning black cat is a professional biscuit maker, certified lovebug, and enthusiastically welcomes belly rubs. Morpheus thrives when he has people nearby to adore him. Originally rescued by a compassionate person, Morpheus had the chance to be vetted and enjoy a safe space while waiting for his owner. Unfortunately, no one came for him. It quickly became clear that he knows how to be a wonderful house cat, although the resident felines weren't keen on adding a new roommate. Now at FOHA, Morpheus is settling in with other FIV positive cats, and he continues to showcase his overwhelming charm. His priorities are simple: love me, pet me, and don't forget the belly rubs. He will roll over, inviting you to give those belly rubs. Though Morpheus is FIV positive, this hasn’t dampened his spirit. These cats can lead long, fulfilling lives. He’s looking for a loving home where he can receive the affection he's accustomed to. If you have another cat or a dog, he can go home as a foster with the intent to adopt so everyone can feel at ease. Ready to enter Morpheus's world? He’s waiting for those belly rubs and to share his love. Click apply to start the adoption process.
