Banner - Domestic Short Hair Cat Available for Adoption in Pawtucket, Rhode Island

Meet Banner, a laid back and mellow guy who is looking for a forever home! This 5 year old bundle of cuteness loves head, ear, cheek and chin scratches on his purrsonal schedule and terms. You see, Banner is still working on his confidence and will need some time, kindness and patience from his special someone as he continues to blossom.

Banner is looking for a home with another friendly feline to show him the perks of indoor life. He is a very playful boy who would love a big basket of toys, lots of room to explore and cozy hiding spots to lounge in. Being FIV+ doesn't slow him down one bit- it just means he's ready to spend all 10 lives happily indoors and loved.

If you could be Banner's match, he hopes you will fill out an application today!

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a cat-specific virus that cannot be passed onto dogs or humans. FIV is spread through deep bite wounds, typically seen on outdoor male cats who have not been neutered. It's rarely spread through grooming, sharing bowls, or litter boxes. FIV affects a cat's immune system, but most cats live long lives when they live indoors, receive routine veterinary care, have a stress-free home, and a good diet.

About Ten Lives:

Ten Lives Cat Rescue is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization located in Rhode Island. Our foster-based program is 100% volunteer-powered. We do not have a facility or shelter with regular visiting hours. Out of respect for the time, privacy, and safety of our foster families, we require an approved adoption application before scheduling a meet and greet with a foster cat.

Our goal is to place cats in their best-matched homes and facilitate lifelong adoptions. We do not review applications on a first-come, first-serve basis. We believe that veterinary care is an important part of cat guardianship. As such, a veterinary check is part of our adoption process. Our goal is to contact applicants within 96 business hours of receiving their application. During kitten season, wait times may be longer due to the influx of applications. We are all volunteers and kindly ask for your patience!

All Ten Lives cats are spayed or neutered, receive age-appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLv and parasites, dewormed, treated for fleas, and microchipped. These services are inclusive of the adoption fee.
