Selfies by Herbie

This is our amazing and adoptable friend Herbie. And in case you're wondering, Herbie is indeed a love bug!

This handsome fellow is always the first to greet guests to the open room he shares with two other nice kitties. As you can see in the second photo, he's also quick to invite passers-by to come in for some catnip, snuggles, and good conversation. Herbie, who is is about 2 1/2 years old, is a happy-go-lucky dude who has been through a lot in his young life. After being rescued from the streets and adopted, his former humans moved and left him behind on the porch of their now-abandoned home, where he was found shivering during a snowstorm.

We are so grateful that he is safe and loved at PAWS. Herbie has quickly become a favorite of among the volunteers and staff,  and gets along famously with other nice cats. Herbie is neutered, current on his vaccinations, and ready to find his happily ever after. Come meet him today!

Herbie has tested positive for FIV, but it's important to remember this does not mean he can't live a long and happy life. According to Best Friends Animal Society, "FIV-positive cats can live normal lives, both in quality and duration. They just need to be monitored for infections and dental issues. But if they’re well cared for, they can be healthy, happy, wonderful pets." FIV cannot be passed to other cats through casual contact, or by sharing food, water, or a litter box. Nor can it be passed to people or other pet species.

It's Sunday, which means we're hopping along in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our pals at The Cat On My Head. Be sure to check it out to see who else is hopping along (or to join in on the fun)!
