Orlando, our FIV+ older boy, has found a home after 10 months thanks to Cat Chat. This is pretty much a miracle as we thought he would have to stay at our sanctuary forever. He was spotted on Cat Chat by a couple who just lost their FIV+ boy and they promised him they will continue the legacy of helping cats like him. We all cried when we spoke on the video chat! He is a sweet, teddy bear type of a gentle giant: 6.5 kg is a lot of kitty to love! He’s utterly adorable, agreeable and submissive. He doesn’t complain and his life goals are basically food and cuddles. He never tried to escape and after a month of recovering in our care, he felt very much at home with us. He really is amazing and his adopter is lucky to have such a sweetheart to share their life with.

Sweet Ed Sheercat, three, has been homed via Cat Chat. The human at Bart's says he’s a green, which means he’s a proper family cat. Although FIV+, he can live with other friendly cats.

Some good news: this little cutie is around 5/6 years and was seeking a special home. He needed a family that would look past his problems and see him for who he really is: a little boy who just wants to be loved. China is FIV positive so needed an indoor home where he would be the only cat. This little one is also rather shy so needed a quiet, adult-only home. China has been rehomed via Cat Chat which has given an opportunity for an animal-loving family to really make a difference to a little cat’s life - he will now have the love he deserves.

Lovely ginger boy Jerry is a six years old, FIV+ lad who was looking for an indoor home. He is OK with female cats and young male cats and the rescue knew that, once settled he would be an affectionate chap with a cheeky side. Jerry has been happily homed after being spotted on Cat Chat.

Lord Grey was homed through Cat Chat - thank you so much. Lord Grey is a real little cuddle monster. He's FIV positive so needed to be an indoor only cat. He came to the rescue with terrible eczema and this has now cleared up, but he does to have special food to keep this under control. He's now found a home with a faithful servant to look after his every whim!

Gentle giant Draco was rehomed after being spotted on Cat Chat. Draco hasn't had the best of starts in life, he turned up as a stray but sadly didn't get on with the finders’ cats. Draco has been aged between 2 and 5 years old and is FIV positive. He was very nervous when he first came into rescue and has taken his time to become accustomed to the company of multiple people. But once settled Draco is a fussy, friendly boy who just wants a lap to cuddle and a bed to share at night. He is a gentle giant and loves the attention!

Tigger just left for his new home thanks to Cat Chat! He's already claimed the sofa as his and allowing his humans to share it with him. He is a beautiful five year old who needed an especially caring home, as he is FIV positive. He loves to chill in his bed and enjoys a good ear scritch.

Just to let you know Snowy from your Overlooked Cats page has found a home through Cat Chat. It's been brilliant for homing the FIV+ boys. Thank you.
The Cat House Rescue, Bradford
Our lovely FIV+ Sooty was spotted on the Overlooked section on Cat Chat and has found his forever new home. Sooty was a gorgeous boy who was used to being indoors. He was gentle, friendly and loved having a fuss and a tummy rub. A general health check before entering our cattery flagged up a surprising positive FIV test result for him. This was re checked as otherwise he was in a very good condition. There is no reason why Sooty shouldn't have a long and healthy life. Thank you for your wonderful website!
