Domestic Medium Hair Cats Available for Adoption in San Jose, California

Angus didn't have an easy road to get here, but he's making up for lost time.

This handsome 5-year-old boy is believed to be a former stray who was abandoned after being socialized early in life — and that early foundation never fully left him. Within just a couple of weeks of patient, gentle care, the skittish, defensive tomcat he arrived as has given way to a sweet, affectionate guy who has truly come into his own.

These days, Angus will hop up on the couch and nap right beside you, perfectly content to snooze while getting a slow pet. He'll let you pick him up and hold him against your chest while you watch TV — a pretty remarkable transformation for a former street cat who wanted nothing to do with people just weeks ago.

He's also quite the conversationalist. Angus is very vocal, especially at dawn and dusk when he comes alive with opinions. During the day he prefers a quieter pace — don't try to force activity out of him or he'll let you know with a hiss — but once evening rolls around, he's alert, engaged, and ready to chat. His favorite scritches are the back and top of his head, cheeks, and chin.

He came to us with a few hitchhikers — a URI, calicivirus, tapeworm, and fleas — all of which have been treated. He also had a broken canine and needed a full dental cleaning and scaling, which has been completed. He's freshly neutered and his mouth is in great shape. Angus is fully vaccinated (3-year Rabies & FVRCP), microchipped, and FIV+.

What FIV+ means for Angus: FIV+ cats can live long, healthy, normal lives. The virus is not easily transmitted — it cannot be passed to humans or dogs, and poses minimal risk to other cats in a stable, non-fighting household.

Angus's love language? Churu. Crunchy treats. And being brushed like the dignified gentleman he clearly believes himself to be.

If you're looking for a cat with a little history and a lot of heart, Angus is ready to show you what he's got.
