About Pin Cushion

Meet Pin Cushion, the coolest cat you'll ever encounter! This friendly and adventurous feline is not just sweet; he’s also playful and athletic. He may take a little time to warm up to you, but once he does, you’ll have a loyal companion for life. Pin Cushion has tested positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus), which means he has a weaker immune system. But don’t let that deter you; FeLV cats aren’t much different from any other cat, needing just a bit of extra care. They generally enjoy a quality life and tend to have a slightly shorter lifespan, similar to senior cats, without the chronic health issues often faced by older felines. Since he can pass FeLV to other cats, Pin Cushion should be the only feline in the home. Come meet this incredible boy today! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
