Meet Tom: Your Future Feline Companion


Tom is not just a handsome cat; he's a charming personality waiting to light up your home! This 3 1/2-year-old feline has overcome challenges and is ready to share his love with a family that understands his journey. Initially a bit shy, Tom transforms into a playful companion who adores belly rubs and meowing for attention. With proper care, including a healthy diet and regular vet visits, Tom can thrive and bring joy to your life for many years to come.


Understanding FIV: What It Means for Tom
Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is not a death sentence; it's a condition that Tom manages with grace. As an FIV-positive cat, he requires a little extra love and attention, but he can live harmoniously with other non-aggressive cats. FIV is not transmissible to humans, making Tom a safe addition to your family. With the right environment and care, Tom can enjoy a fulfilling life filled with affection and companionship. Are you ready to welcome this resilient cat into your heart?


If you would like to meet TOM, fill out a pre-adoption questionnaire, and a TC Paw volunteer will contact you.

MeiMei is available

for adoption
