About Lotus

Meet Lotus, a young, two-year-old cat full of potential. He adores the company of other cats, but can be a bit shy around new people. A little treat, like Churros, might coax him to come closer. As an FIP survivor, Lotus does have some special needs; he has a grade 3 heart murmur and occasionally requires steroid and antibiotic injections to manage his condition. Despite these challenges, he’s making progress in his social skills and can be quite affectionate, often curling up close to you while sleeping. Lotus is also part of a long-term Foster program due to his medical needs, so consider giving him the loving home he deserves!
