Vander (FIV+) Domestic Short Hair Mix Minneapolis, MN

Vander is a 4-year-old, loving and playful cat looking for his forever home!

This sweet creamsicle dude loves to be around people and will often seek his humans out. He likes to prop himself on their laps and just rest there for a bit. In the mornings he'll often wait till he's noticed you've woken up and come right on over to you for some pets and a cuddle. I mean hey, we can't blame him though, whho doesn't prefer to start their day in a warm and cozy cuddle puddle?

During the day while his humans are busy working, he likes to spend lots of time up high in the cat tree just sunbathing and taking naps. He's an athletic dude that loves to climb or jump onto higher surfaces. He enjoys the panoramic view and is a professional at keeping tabs on the humans from above. He's also a playful guy who can sometimes be found rolling around on the floor into his cat tunnels. He makes his humans laugh and smile with his silly playing antics. If you can't find Vander up high in his tree, down low in his tunnel, or right on your lap, the next best bet is in the laundry hamper. This silly dude loves to burrow, and if you dig deep enough you'll usually find him very comfortably buried under a pile of laundry.

Vander has a medium energy level on most days. He likes to chase and pounce on throw toys, especially when he's already zooming about. He'll give you extra brownie bonus points if they have catnip - that stuff is the best! When he's not playing, he likes to just lounge with the humans.

Vander currently lives in an apartment with 4 humans. While we haven't seen him interact with either in foster care, he could be good with calm, cat savvy cats or dogs with proper introductions. He will at times communicate with his teeth, so older kids or no kids in his home would be best. His ideal home would be one where he could get a good amount of attention. He's an affectionate boy that like to be near his humans.

Vander may have flare ups of colitis from time to time, but, the best way to keep this at bay is to keep him on the prescription diet he's on now.

Vander is FIV+, but that doesn't mean he can't live a long, normal, and healthy life! Cats with FIV commonly have average lifespans. Because FIV is spread only through deep bite wounds, FIV positive cats are able to live with FIV negative cats in stable social environments.

If you are looking for a sweet, affectionate cat to add to you home then consider Vander!
