About Arnie

Meet Arnie, our big boy who truly embodies his name—he's BIG! This handsome FIV+ tomcat is a total lovebug with an incredibly affectionate nature. With his tipped ear and adorably wonky eye, Arnie radiates charm and warmth. Having lived on the streets and battled a severe case of mange, Arnie deserves all the love he can get. He's a talkative guy, chirping like a Maine Coon, and he can't get enough attention. Though we haven't weighed him yet, he's probably twice the size of the other cats in his foster home. While Arnie's FIV+ status might extend his wait for a forever home, potential adopters should know that FIV is manageable, and this resilient boy is more than ready to find his special someone. Arnie gets along wonderfully with other cats but does not seem to enjoy the company of dogs. Arnie is in Hillsboro, OR, but will be transported to Oregon in under two weeks once the application is approved and a virtual meeting is completed. He eagerly awaits a loving family to call his own!
