About Matched

Meet Matched! Little Miss Matched is a 5-year-old girl with a gentle heart. She's shy but warms up beautifully to kindness. A few gentle head scratches and some crunchy treats will win her over. While it may take her a moment to seek out affection, once you start petting her, she'll lean into your hand and gently tap you with her paw for more. Matched is learning that the world can be a safe and loving space. She's looking for a patient human who understands her need to explore at her own pace. She'll thrive with someone who can allow her the time to come out of her shell. This lovely girl is FIV+, but with proper care like a balanced diet and regular wellness exams, she can lead a normal, healthy life. FIV+ cats like Matched can coexist with FIV- cats in safe environments. That said, she would prefer to be the only feline in her new home. Give Matched the chance she deserves and watch her blossom.
