Under The Spotlight
Vesuvius is like no other cat, so much so that our staff affectionately call him the “catdog“! This big bob-tailed kitty is FIV+, however he is still able to lead a normal and healthy lifestyle and needs to go to a home where he would be the only four-legged pet. He is both impressive and slightly exotic in appearance, from his large Tom cat cheeks to his adorable little bobtail. If you are torn between a dog or a cat, Vesuvius is the best of both worlds! In his prior home he figured out how to use the doggie door within a day, and enjoyed following his human companions around on walks, and hanging out gardening.
