Story
Poe’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of how cruel humans can be, but also of the incredible resilience and forgiveness animals are capable of.
Poe was abandoned at a large nature preserve, left to fend for himself. When he was finally rescued and brought in to be neutered, we discovered something heartbreaking: Poe had been shot with a pellet gun before coming into our care. Thankfully, he has healed beautifully, and despite everything he has endured, he has never lost his ability to trust and love. ❤️
Today, Poe is everything you could hope for in a companion. He is gentle, affectionate, cuddly, and wonderfully friendly. He loves attention and has such a sweet disposition. He gets along well with other cats and would do well with gentle, respectful children.
Poe has been tested and is FIV-positive, but please don't let that discourage you from considering this amazing boy!
FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) affects a cat's immune system, but many FIV-positive cats live long, happy lives and enjoy a wonderful quality of life. FIV is primarily transmitted through deep bite wounds, most often associated with fighting between unneutered cats. It is not easily spread through normal social interactions like cuddling, grooming, sharing food bowls, or peacefully living together. FIV-positive cats can often live safely with FIV-negative cats in stable, friendly households where fighting is not an issue. FIV is also species-specific, meaning it cannot be transmitted to people or dogs.
Poe deserves a home where he will finally know safety, kindness, and unconditional love. After everything someone put him through, he still has so much love to give. We hope someone will look past his FIV status and see the wonderful, loving companion he truly is.
Poe is fully vetted, including neutering, microchipping, deworming, flea treatment, and vaccinations. He is ready to find the forever family he has always deserved.
Could you be the person who gives Poe his happily ever after?
