HUNTER

HISTORY: Hunter was a stray/surrender when he tested positive for feline leukemia.

MEDICAL NOTE: Hunter has tested positive for FeLV.

When is a Hunter not a hunter? Why it’s when he’s CFC’s Hunter, a love bucket and a sweetheart of a guy. He’s a lover, not a fighter, and the only hunting in his repertoire is seeking out a lap to occupy. His is a laid back, go with the flow personality and there’s nothing hyper about this boy. His ample orange body perfectly fills most any lap, where he delights in a good cuddle. His purr is so soft that it’s almost imperceptible, but it’s dependable. Lean your head down to hear it and you just might be the recipient of one of his patented chinny nudges. Here’s one of his most endearing traits; should you pause in petting him he will extend his big mitten paw up to your cheek and gently pat it or he might tap your arm and draw your hand back to him to encourage you to resume the caresses. No claws are extended, just a very soft touch to remind you that “I’m here and love is in session!” He is just one very good cat. Please come visit our treasure hunter’s delight- he’d adore seeing you.  Note: Hunter has tested positive for FeLV.

Spring 2024 Update: Can a cat ever get enough pets, love and attention? Well, if you ask me, I’d say “No!” One of my best friends Scott will tell you that I just never tire of our love sessions and if given the chance would let him stroke me non-stop. I’m not so much into his lap so I’ll keep him standing and standing while I enjoy the height of a cat tree or one of the shelves in my room. I’ve kind of steered away from being the main greeter positioned by the door when you enter the room so look for me at mid-height in the room and you’ll find me in some comfy spot. Scott calls me the eternal gentleman and one “happy man.” Sometimes, his words might even make me blush on occasion. Since we last spoke, I’ve been diagnosed with asthma (Uh, like I needed that!) but I’m responding well to meds and am otherwise healthy. HUNTER

Fall 2023 Update: You’ll be hard pressed to find a human that does find Hunter to be one of the most pleasant natured kitties, ever! A creature of habit, he’s normally by the door to his room acting as maitre d’ of sorts as the humans enter. Certainly, this approach will maximize his chances of getting some much needed and deserved head pets from those entering his space. When not by the door, it’s not unusual to find him squatting in Charlie’s condo (one of his roommates) for a change of pace. Now approaching 6 yrs of age and being leukemia positive, Hunter is showing his age a bit more but still he’s mobile, engaging and just as delightful as they come. We are honored to have him under our care.
