Meet Heatwave — a warm-hearted brown and white tabby with a gentle soul and a love for life’s little luxuries (like a good brushing session). This friendly fellow is affectionate, calm, and absolutely adores human company. After a successful dental surgery, Heatwave is feeling better than ever and ready to soak up the love in a forever home of his own. Heatwave is FeLV+ (Feline Leukemia Virus positive), which means he’ll thrive best as a solo cat or with other FeLV+ companions — and he promises to give back all the love you give him tenfold. If you’re looking for a loyal, mellow, and affectionate companion, let Heatwave bring some lasting warmth into your home. **Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a virus that is specific to cats that weakens a cat’s immune system. Cats with FeLV can live normal, happy, healthy lives—but with a shorter life expectancy than cats without FeLV. At PAWS, we believe every pet deserves to live out their life in a loving home for whatever time they have. We hope you'll consider opening your home to this special kitty! For more information feel free to check out the FeLV FAQs we have available on our website!** Age: ~3 years old How I came to PAWS: Found Stray Animal ID#: A180064 I am in a foster home and am not at the shelter.
