DOB 3/1/21
Hey there, everyone! I’m Mr. Bean, a very sweet, very gentle, and affectionate tuxedo fella who gets along well with not only people but also other cats. Who doesn’t love a tuxedo because we each have our own unique markings? And I certainly am handsomely marked with my white lightning bolt running down my nose! I was named after the loveable buffoon in the British sitcom because I have the unique talent of transforming ordinary situations into comical ones.
A Good Samaritan first noticed me at the feeding station for her colony of community cats. I was a friendly stray, probably a lost or abandoned pet, who was in very poor condition. I did the best I could to compete for food, even though the existing cats didn’t welcome me. This compassionate lady networked until she found my HOPE foster meowmy, who agreed to bring me into the safe haven of her home and get me looking like the robust dude I used to be. Boy howdy! Was I relieved to get away from the hardscrabble life of fending for myself!
When Foster Meowmy got me fully vetted, she discovered that I was positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV+), which I probably contracted from the deep bite wound from another cat. (Unlike Feline Leukemia, FIV is NOT passed on "casually" by sharing food bowls and litter boxes with other household cats.) Being FIV positive means that I should live an average life span even though my immune system is compromised.
Admittedly I had a rough start, but now I’m thriving and ready to be my forever family’s loyal shadow and snuggle buddy. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! Incidentally, there are advantages to adopting a kitty like me who's beyond the stage of kitten mayhem. I'm much less likely to cause chaos in your home or break any of your treasured accessories.
