Hi, I’m Akio! I’m a very sweet lap cat who is 10 years old and a new arrival to Homeward Bound. You see, I was found back in December, and I was looking a bit rough around the edges. A kind person asked for help, and here I am! At Homeward Bound, I was named Akio which means "bright" with the goal of manifesting a bright future and happy new year.
However, upon arrival it was very noticeable that I was sick and needed to be seen by the vet. I was promptly taken to Tropicana Animal Hospital for blood work and hospitalization. I was diagnosed with FIV, I received antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection, and fluids. I was also treated for parasites! After a few days, I began to improve. I ate well, and I was so sweet and charming that everyone loved me.
After I was cleared by the vet, I spent a few more days in a foster home to continue to recover, and just recently, I was deemed 100% healthy!
I’m now ready for a home of my own and my needs are simple. While FIV+, as long as I have a healthy diet, a stress-free environment, and regular vet visits, I can still have a happy, healthy, long life. I do need extra feedings right now to help me gain some weight, so someone who can offer that is ideal. And lastly, a lap. I LOVE people and just want to lay around in your lap and head butt you for scratches. If you think you can offer me a good life with lots of attention, I’m your man!
