Hero is affectionate, playful, and always ready to greet you with a purr or a gentle head bump. With his striking coat and sweet personality, he’s sure to be a loyal and loving companion. His foster says, "He’s so content when he’s around his people. He doesn’t need attention, just being near you is enough. Hero is a total sweetheart. He’s the perfect kind of lap cat, he just wants to be around his people without demanding your attention. He’s very gentle and good at communicating when he’s done with something. He’s learned very quickly what he’s not allowed to do (like jump on the stove). We even clipped his nails and he was so good and calm! Hero is just the guy for you if you’re looking for a supportive and affectionate sidekick. He seems very adaptable and chill, his litter box usage is 10/10, and he’s not destructive or mischievous. Just a happy, friendly little guy. He loves it when we kiss him on the head and he loves to cuddle with us when we sleep. When we get into bed he comes up and makes biscuits on the comforter to "tuck us in." Hero is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and had preventative treatments to ensure he is ready for his new home. Hero has tested positive for FIV , an autoimmune condition. FIV is not transmissible to humans and cats can live normal lives with it. Our adoptions specialists can fill you in on the details. Submit an adoption survey from above and our team will reach out via phone or email (check spam) to schedule a counseling call. For any additional questions, please contact fosternyc@bestfriends.org. Please remember, pets cannot be held or reserved.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
