Meet Puffy

Hi, I’m Puffy, a soft, beautiful grey lady with eyes that can melt hearts. I might start out a little shy, but once I trust you, I’m all about gentle head butts and leaning into pets. I just need a patient friend who will let me open up at my own pace.

I used to live with my lookalike friend Meowy, we looked so much alike that my foster gave me a pink collar so she could tell us apart! Now that I’m here at FOHA, I’m slowly settling in and showing more of my sweet, affectionate side every day.

If you’ve been searching for a cat who will reward your patience with quiet love and tender companionship, I think we might be the perfect match.

🐾 A Few of My Favorite Things:
Cozy corners, slow and gentle pets, soft head butts, and people who take the time to really see me.

🏡 What I’m Looking For:
A calm, loving home with humans who understand that shy cats have the deepest hearts. Give me time, and I’ll give you my trust.

Puffy's Medical Information

I have FIV, that's what I have but it is NOT who I AM! Please don't let that scare you away. I want you to know that FIV+ cats can and DO live long, healthy, and normal lives when given the chance. In fact, statistically, most FIV cats live as long as their indoor counterparts (13-18 years), and much longer than cats that live outdoors (3-8 years). There are many reported cases where FIV+ cats live well into old age without ever showing any symptoms. It's important to note that dogs, other pets, and humans are absolutely immune to FIV. The virus itself is astonishingly frail and can live outside of the body for only a few seconds. The virus is also extremely slow-acting, so it is unlikely to pose any threat to other cats in the household. I know that adopting an FIV+ cat may seem like a big responsibility, but I promise that I am worth it. I am a sweet and loving kitty who just wants a warm and safe place to call home. If you are willing to give me a chance, I promise to bring you years of joy and companionship. So please come and meet me, and see for yourself that FIV+ cats are just as wonderful and deserving of love as any other cat.
