ROMULUS - Domestic Long Hair and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Hamilton Township, New Jersey

Romulus is a handsome senior gentleman who has spent his entire life outdoors — but now, in his golden years, he’s ready to discover the joys of being someone’s beloved house cat.

This long-haired boy is a total lovebug who absolutely adores affection. He loves curling up on laps for long periods of time, soaking up head pets and cheek rubs, and he especially enjoys being picked up and held. After a lifetime outside, Romulus is showing us that what he really wants now is comfort, security, and a person of his own.

Romulus also seems to do well with other cats, which is a wonderful quality for a senior guy looking for a home with feline companionship.

Romulus is FIV-positive. FIV is a virus that affects a cat’s immune system, but many FIV-positive cats go on to enjoy long, happy lives with proper care. His status should not define him — Romulus is still the same affectionate, lap-loving gentleman he’s always been.

He does have one important quirk: moving feet can be very tempting to him! He may swat or attack feet when someone walks nearby, so he’ll need a patient home that understands this behavior and can help him learn appropriate boundaries as he transitions to indoor life.

After spending his entire life outside, Romulus deserves a peaceful retirement filled with soft beds, warm laps, cheek scratches, and someone who will cherish him.

Romulus has waited a long time for this chapter of his life. Could you be the person who gives him the cozy retirement he deserves?
