Meet Arnold

🌟 Meet Arnold!

Mister Arnold is not a complicated man. In fact, he only requires two things to achieve peak happiness:

1. A lap
2. Unlimited access to that lap for the remainder of the day

That’s it. That’s the list.

Arnold is one of those rare cats who has absolutely perfected the art of companionship. The moment you sit down, he’ll likely appear as if summoned by magic, carefully climbing into your lap and settling into the most comfortable loaf position possible. Once he’s achieved maximum coziness, don’t expect him to move anytime soon.

🐾 A Few of My Favorite Things:

Laps. More laps. Naps on laps.

When volunteers spend time with Arnold, they quickly discover that he is essentially a fluffy, purring heating pad with opinions about personal schedules. One volunteer reported that he happily napped on their lap for over an hour, eventually drifting into a deep sleep complete with adorable little snores. Another described him as “such a delight” who spends his time requesting pets, gazing lovingly at his humans, and generally being the sweetest little cuddlebug imaginable.

His greatest tragedy in life? When people have the audacity to stand up. Arnold will respond with the saddest little squeaky noises and gentle paw taps, making it very clear that your departure was neither requested nor approved.

🏡 What I’m Looking For:

I’m looking for a home with a warm lap, a comfy couch, and humans who understand that personal space is a highly overrated concept. I’d love a family who enjoys quiet afternoons, movie marathons, reading sessions, or working from home—activities that can all be improved by having a fluffy cat asleep on your legs.

If you have another cat or a dog, I can go home as foster with intent to adopt so we can make sure everyone gets along.

💛 Ready to fall in love?

If you’ve ever wished for a cat who thinks you’re the most comfortable piece of furniture in the house, Mister Arnold is waiting to meet you. Just be prepared to cancel your plans—you may never get up from the couch again.

Arnold's Medical Information

I have FIV, but that’s just a small part of my story! FIV+ cats like me can live long, happy, and healthy lives, just like any other indoor kitty. Many of us live well into our teens without ever showing symptoms. FIV isn’t contagious to people or dogs, and it’s very hard to transmit to other cats, it typically only spreads through serious bite wounds, which aren’t common in peaceful indoor homes. So please don’t let those letters scare you. I’m sweet, loving, and ready to bring joy to your life, just like any other cat. 👉 Learn more about FIV and common myths 👉 Watch FOHA’s own Scooter talk about FIV+ cats
