🌼 Love Doesn’t Grow Old—It Grows Deeper. 🌼
Senior cats are the wise, gentle souls of the shelter—quiet purrs, warm cuddles, and hearts full of love to give. They've outgrown the zoomies and chaos, and instead, they offer calm companionship, soft head bumps, and a deep appreciation for cozy naps and kind humans.
Adopting a senior cat means giving them the golden retirement they deserve—and gaining a devoted friend who knows the true meaning of home. Come meet your old soul in a whiskered coat today. 🐾💕

🩺 What is FIV+? And Why Should You Still Adopt? 🩺
FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) is a condition that affects a cat’s immune system, but it doesn’t stop them from living long, healthy, love-filled lives. FIV+ cats can live just as happily as any other cat—many reach normal lifespans and enjoy all the same things: cuddles, playtime, naps, and companionship.
FIV is not contagious to humans or other species, and it’s only spread between cats through deep bite wounds—not casual contact, grooming, or sharing food and water bowls. That means FIV+ cats can often live safely with other friendly, non-aggressive cats.
These kitties might need a little extra care (like regular vet checkups and an indoor-only lifestyle), but in return, they offer endless affection and gratitude. Being FIV+ doesn’t mean they’re sick—it means they’re survivors, full of love, and deserving of a second chance.
🐾 FIV+ cats: special, sweet, and so worth it. 🧡
