Tommy - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Tommy is a healthy, gorgeous, shy and sweet, four-year-old, 11.7-pound, male, golden-eyed, orange and white tabby cat looking for a loving guardian.

Tommy has tested positive for feline leukemia (FeLV) so he can only live with cats who also carry the virus, or with dogs! He is actually living at a doggie daycare and is absolutely fine with dogs.

Tommy is well-behaved in the home and great with his litter box.

With those he loves, Tommy is quite sweet and snuggly. He loves ipad games and hanging out with his favorite people. He’s also very talkative and engaging. However, he is timid around new people and doesn’t show well when you come to visit him. It will take a leap of faith to know that he will come around slowly when you bring him home.

His ear tip acknowledges that he was TNR’d (trapped, neutered and released). Tommy is vaccinated for rabies and distemper, and microchipped.

FeLV is a type of virus that can spread via saliva, feces, urine and milk. Some cats are born with the virus; it can also spread through cat colonies. There is no cure, so he shouldn’t need to see a vet more than any other cat.
