Shiloh is a very friendly, talkative, playful, and affectionate cat who loves to cuddle and be pet. He has a laid-back personality and quickly warms up to people who give him attention. He’s an absolute love bug and getting him to purr is very easy. He’s a handsome boy with a lot of personality and is very smart. He even comes when you call him! He makes his foster mom smile and laugh every day.

Shiloh can live with other cats, respectful dogs, and older children who will play with him but not try to pick him up. He would do best in a home where someone is usually home, as he gets lonely when he’s alone.

He was born in 2017, is neutered, current on his vaccines, microchipped, and negative for FeLV and FIV.

When he was brought indoors and into the care of 9 Lives, he had an injured front leg that our vet figured was the result of trauma, likely a fall from 2- to 3-stories high! 9 Lives immediately treated his leg and he’s doing great. He’s sweet, lovable, and gets along with humans, cats, and dogs.

Unfortunately, the trauma also injured his throat, and 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱. On a good day, Willy breathes with an awful wheeze. On a bad day, he struggles to breathe, and the obstruction is life-threatening.

Sammy, 8, is a sweetheart, extremely affectionate and docile, a real lap kitty who also likes to be picked up! He loves to play with feathers and eat Churus and chomp on cat grass; one of his favorite things is to perch on his cat tree and check out what’s happening outside. He also loves hanging with his best friend, Nelson.

Nelson, 6, spent years in isolation before coming to his current foster, so he is adjusting to the joy of being free to move. He LOVES his new buddy Sammy! Now he is typically out and about, curiously watching the bigger world outside from his perch on his cat tree, or begging for food or playtime. Overall he is shy and needs a place to hide if overwhelmed, but he is getting more and more comfortable with people and he is gaining confidence from Sammy.

Nelson and Sammy met because each had 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘂𝗸𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗿𝘂𝘀 (𝗙𝗲𝗟𝗩), and they became best friends. Having FeLV means that the immune system is compromised, but it is a condition that can be managed. More information available on request.

Sammy and Nelson are bonded friends who must be adopted together. They are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and tested negative for FIV.
