More about Mikey

Mikey is an adorable DSH brown tabby male born approximately 5/5/2025. Meet Mikey! Mikey is a gentle, soulful young tabby kitty with a heart as big as his journey. Rescued from life outdoors, he likely had little to no human contact at first. It took patience, love, and several months for Mikey to learn to trust—but once he did, he blossomed into an incredibly sweet and devoted companion. Now, Mikey is the definition of a quiet best friend. He loves spending time perched  by the window, watching the world go by—birds, people, cars—taking it all in with  curious eyes. When he’s not on lookout duty, you’ll often find him curled up happily on your lap, soaking in affection and giving it right back. Playtime is another of Mikey’s favorite things! He enjoys batting around catnip toys and zooming through his kitty tunnel with bursts of playful energy. And one of his  most charming quirks? His adorable, human-like stretch—both back legs stretched  straight out behind him—it’s guaranteed to make you smile every time. Mikey unfortunately tested positive for the feline leukemia virus (FeLV). This does not mean he has leukemia, but that he carries a virus that could suppress the immune system making him more susceptible to secondary infections, as well as causing cancers like lymphoma and leukemia. However, that does not mean he will live a life being sick and unhealthy. Quite the contrary, FeLV+ cats often live a happy and healthy life for years before succumbing to any disease. Mikey will need to be an only cat or adopted into a home with other FeLV+ kitties.

He’s  ready to share his gentle spirit, playful side, and loyal companionship with a  forever home. Mikey is microchipped and currently in a loving foster home. His adoption fee is $105.
