Selfie by Ashford

Handsome alert! Handsome alert! Just check out our adoptable friend Ashford, and you'll see we're not joking about him being handsome. ๐Ÿ’–

He's also very sweet. This gentle giant really enjoys getting pets and attention from his human pals, and loves scritches under his chin and on his big cheeks. Ashford came to PAWS after being found abandoned outside as an un-neutered male. He has some scars that show he was picked on out there, but that's all behind him now. Ashford is such an amazing dude, and he's glad to be safe, warm, and loved while he waits for his forever home (we're glad, too!). He's about 3 years old, neutered, current on his vaccinations, and ready for his indoor happily ever after. Come meet Ashford today, and fall in love!

Like our beloved Target, Ashford has tested positive for FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), 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.

We're participating today in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our wonderful friends at The Cat on My Head. Be sure to check out who's hopping along and/or join in on the fun!

Ashford reminds us of our lovely angel, Giulietta. If he is even half as sweet as she was, we bet he'll have a forever home very soon. We thank him for hopping and send POTP for a quick adoption.

He's adorable! Surely folks wont pass up this young chap once they've had a cuddle and a stroke. Love at first sight and to heck with any minor ails.
