My name is Tom Petty!

Meet Tom Petty!

This handsome black and white tux kitty is approximately 2 years old. He was a stray who ended up in a high kill shelter but now “he’s free, free falling”, living in Georgia and looking for a human or family to love. He loves his foster mama and she says if she could only use one word to describe him, it would be SWEET! He lets his foster mom pick him up and hold him. He just wants to stay by her side or sit in her lap. He is very calm and laid back.

This amazing, beautiful, lovable kitty is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations, and microchipped. Tom Petty has everything going for him EXCEPT he tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). This does not mean he can’t live a happy, normal life. He is healthy and the virus may never progress any further.

Tom is not contagious to humans or dogs. He gets along well with other cats and would be a good companion to another FIV cat. The virus can only be transmitted to other cats through a deep bite wound which normally happens during mating or when unneutered males fight over territory or females.

Tom says, “DON‘T be afraid of me, even though I’m positive for FIV; I’m a healthy boy who intends to live a very long time, LOVING the person who adopts me”.

Tom simply has too much love to give to be without a human companion and home to call his own.

Tom’s adoption fee is $150.00 dollars with the following vetting- neutered, up to date rabies shot, wormed and microchipped!
