My story

Hi, my name is Helios! I’m a bright and handsome orange tabby named after the Greek god of the sun, and I’m ready to bring some warmth and light into your life! I may have once roamed the streets of Detroit, but thanks to a PAAW volunteer, I was trapped for TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return). Turns out, I had a little surprise for everyone—I’m actually a super friendly guy who loves people and pets! So instead of going back to the streets, I got a second chance at finding a loving forever home.Living on the streets meant food was hard to come by, so I’m still a bit of a hungry boy. I get really excited for mealtime and may give you my best “feed me” eyes—it’s a look that’s pretty hard to resist! But now that I know food will always be there, I’m learning to slow down and savor my meals.While I was out there fending for myself, I also picked up FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). It might sound scary, but don’t worry—it’s not! FIV simply affects my immune system a little, but with regular vet care and a healthy lifestyle, I can live a long, happy life just like any other cat. And guess what? FIV+ and FIV- cats can safely live together! FIV is only transmitted through deep bite wounds, which is rare in a calm, friendly household like the one I dream of finding!I’m a laid-back, affectionate boy who loves scratches and snuggles. Whether I’m soaking up the sun in a cozy window spot or curling up next to you for some purr-filled pets, I’ll be your loyal companion!Thanks for reading about me! I hope to meet my forever family soon! FIV+ cats need love too! FIV is species specific, meaning only cats can be infected. FIV+ cats can live just as long as non-FIV cats. If introduced properly, FIV and Non-FIV cats can live happy and healthy lives together. The virus is very frail and can only live outside the body for a few seconds, and requires serious physical interaction, like deep bite wounds. Normal social interactions, such as grooming, sharing food and water bowls and litter boxes have no known risk of transmission. Helios~born~_____A special adoption fee is offered for FIV+ cats and can give you and the cat years of love and companionship.Please use these links for our:Online Adoption Application: paawarren.org/adopt/adoption-application-formWebsite for details, info: paawarren.orgFIV+ info: paawarren.org/pet-resources/fiv-positive-cats***PAAW’s Cat Café is now open in Farmington H

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Helios *$pecial FIV+ fee*, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
