Ribbon

My story

Hi there, I’m Ribbon! I’m a handsome black and white kitty with soft, medium-length fur. I’m about 4 years old, and I came all the way from the the Seminole Reservation in Hollywood to Jupiter, hoping to find a special family to call my own. I’m sweet, snuggly, and curious and I’m hoping you’ll see just how wonderful life with me can be, even if I come with a few extra needs. You see, I tested positive for both FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). I know those sound a little scary, but let me break it down: -FeLV affects the immune system and can impact cats in different ways: -Some kitties fight it off and eventually test negative. -Others live long, healthy lives while carrying the virus. -A few may develop illness sooner and need more medical care. The tricky part is—we don’t know yet which path I’ll take. But right now, I feel great! I’m happy, active, and I love soft beds, toys, and gentle pets. I'm also FIV positive, which just means I might need a little extra immune support and good care over time. However, because of FeLV, I can ONLY live with other FeLV-positive cats OR be your one and only feline friend. That’s okay though, I have more than enough love to give all by myself. If you choose me, you’re choosing a life filled with affection, loyalty, and the softest fur you’ve ever touched. I just ask for a kind and informed home, one that will stick by me no matter what the future holds. So if you’re ready to give a truly special cat a chance, come meet me.
