🌟 Meet Sweet Cheeks

Hi, I’m Sweet Cheeks, and I’ve just recently arrived at FOHA. I’m still getting comfortable in my new surroundings, but I’ve already met some very nice people here — and I’m starting to show them all the wonderful things about me. As my friends at FOHA get to know me better, they’ll help update my bio with more details. For now, the best way to learn about me is to come meet me in person! If you submit an application, we can set up a time to get to know each other. See you soon!!

🐾 How Am I With Other Cats?
To be determined. If you have another cat in the home, I’ll go home as foster with intent to adopt so you can see how things go and make sure it’s a good match for everyone.

🐶 How Am I With Dogs?
To be determined. If you have a dog or other pets at home, I’ll also go home as foster with intent to adopt so we can take things slowly and comfortably.

👶 How Am I With Kids?
To be determined. Come out and meet me, and we can see how we do together!

🚽 My Litter Box Habits:
Perfect! I have excellent litter box manners.

Sweet Cheeks'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.
