Big Red

🐾 ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:

Hi, I’m Big Red – a gentle, resilient soul with a heart as warm as my name suggests. Life hasn’t been the easiest for me, but you’d never know it from how sweet I am. I may be a little shy when we first meet, but give me a cozy space, a patient heart, and some chin scratches, and I’ll slowly start to show you the loving companion I truly am.

I’m currently in a foster home and adjusting beautifully. In just 24 hours, I was already approaching my foster for affection, purring softly, and eating like a champ. I like to spend quiet time under chairs or in covered beds—safe spaces are my favorite. I recently had to be shaved due to some mats (not my favorite day), but I was incredibly well-behaved. And here’s a bonus—I absolutely love being brushed!

Despite a few medical challenges—I’m FIV positive, have a heart murmur, and I’m diabetic—I remain one of the sweetest, most mellow cats you’ll meet. I don’t need a lot, just a calm, loving home where I can feel safe, comfortable, and cherished for who I am. FOHA is happy to share more information about my care, and I promise, every bit of love you give will come back tenfold.
