Have you ever encountered such a magnificent speci Have you ever encountered such a magnificent specimen as Nigel? 🐾 Allow me to introduce you to this absolutely smashing ginger gentleman, a true domestic marvel. Nigel is equal parts cuddle connoisseur and curious explorer, always on the lookout for his next grand adventure… whether that’s investigating a crinkly toy or discovering the coziest lap in the house. This charming chap is incredibly sweet and affectionate, with a soft spot for snuggles and a playful spirit that will keep you endlessly entertained. One moment he’s off on a daring expedition across the living room, the next he’s nestled up beside you, purring like a well-tuned engine. Now, Nigel does happen to be FIV+, but fear not, dear friend. Cats with FIV can live long, happy, and fulfilling lives just like any other feline. It simply means he’ll need regular check-ups with a trusted veterinarian to keep him in tip-top shape, as he may be a bit more prone to illness. With proper care, Nigel is ready to thrive in his forever habitat. So, the real question is… are you prepared to welcome this extraordinary creature into your home and heart? Adopt Nigel at hsdayton.org/adopt/cats 🧡 #FIVPositiveCats #ShelterCat #DaytonOhio #thornberries #fblifestyle #CatLovers #RescueCat #AdoptablePets #ForeverHome #nigelthornberry

Meet Cookie 🍪 Soft, sweet, and just a little bit Meet Cookie 🍪 Soft, sweet, and just a little bit shy at first, Cookie is the definition of a hidden gem. Give her a little time (and a few tasty treats), and she’ll melt right into you. Once she trusts you, she’s all about cozy cuddles and quiet companionship. Fun fact… Cookie is completely toothless! After coming to us as a stray in pain, our veterinary team gave her a fresh start by removing her damaged teeth. Now she’s feeling so much better and living her comfiest life on a soft food diet which she fully approves of. Tuna Churu treats? Her absolute favorite! Cookie is looking for someone patient and kind who will let her warm up at her own pace and then enjoy all the love she has to give. Apply to adopt: hsdayton.org/adopt/cats 💛 Thank you to Key Ads for helping support shelter animals just like Cookie while they wait for their forever homes. #RescueCat #CatLovers #AdoptACat #SecondChances #ForeverHome #HSdayton #fblifestyle

FIV can be just one part of a cat’s story—not the FIV can be just one part of a cat’s story—not the whole picture. Cats with FIV can still live long, happy, love-filled lives, and they deserve homes just as much as any other cat. A diagnosis doesn’t define them—it simply means they may need a little extra care and a lot of love. Take a moment to learn more about FIV and how we test for and care for these cats at the Dayton Humane Veterinary Hospital. Visit our shelter or the MeowZa! Cat Boutique (HSGD) to meet our cats in person, or head to hsdayton.org/adopt/cats to see all of our adoptable cats across all locations. #FIV #Cats #Kittens #AdoptDontShop
