Alvin

My story

Meet Alvin, a sweet and shy soul with a heart of a lion. This adult cat has been living the life of a stray, navigating the streets with courage and resilience. Despite his brave demeanor, Alvin has a gentle side that's waiting to be discovered. His shyness is just a facade, hiding a lovable character that's eager to share his love. He's a silent observer, a quiet companion who'd make your afternoons peaceful and your evenings serene. Alvin's past as a street cat has made him strong and independent, but don't let that fool you. He's longing for a home, a place where he can feel safe and loved. If you're looking for a loyal friend who's got a heart full of love to give, Alvin is your cat. His sweet nature and bravery make him the perfect companion. Adopt Alvin, and let him fill your home with love, peace, and tranquility. Alvin has been tested positive for FIV.  FIV sounds bad, but it isn't a big deal... unfortunately many FIV+ cats are overlooked in shelters because people see this on their sign and think it's a terrible disease and the cats won't live long... However FIV+ cats can live long healthy lives just like other cats! There is no medication to treat an FIV+ positive cat   If you don't know what FIV is, it stands for feline immunodeficiency virus and typically causes a weakening of the cat’s immune system... only cats can get FIV, people and dogs cannot.   The most common route of infection is a deep bite wound from an FIV+ cat to another cat... they can live with other non FIV + cats- sharing food/litter/water without transmitting the disease onto other cats If you are interested in adopting, please fill put an application online at  ahimsahaven.org . Meet and greets are with an approved application by appointment only.   As always, cats that are ready to be adopted are spayed/neutered, have age appropriate shots, are micro-chipped, dewormed/deflead, and FEL/FIV tested.June 7, 2025, 9:46 pm
