Bob FIV

Male · Young · 3 years

Bob spent most of his life as a community cat in Dubai. When he suddenly stopped eating, he was brought into veterinary care and diagnosed with a severe dental infection that required multiple tooth extractions. Since rescue, Bob has made a full recovery. He is now healthy, stable and fully adapted to indoor life. Bob is an affectionate and people-oriented cat who thrives on human companionship. He forms strong bonds with his caregivers and finds great comfort in simply being near people. He is calm, trusting and comfortable with gentle handling. He can be picked up when needed and responds well to soft and respectful interaction. Bob has a calm presence and is very food motivated, always looking forward to mealtimes. He is a low-energy, easy-going cat who spends most of his time resting in cosy spots and enjoying peaceful surroundings. Bob has lived with small children and would suit a calm, loving home where he can feel safe and included. Health or disability details- He is FIV+ and had 8 teeth removed and stomatitis but has fully recovered now. Temperament details – Very affectionate and people-oriented and thrives on human companionship and forms strong bonds with his caregivers. He is very cuddly and actively seeks out affection and closeness with his humans whenever possible. He is playful and enjoys interactive toys such as strings and wand toys. He is also a bit chatty and enjoys vocal interaction with people. He has shown positive behaviour towards other cats although he has not yet been deeply tested with dogs. His previous foster had a female cat and they were good together and when he was outdoors with other cats also never showed signs of aggression. He has been introduced to dogs and was not bothered so families with dogs, with the right introduction, are also suitable. He was in a foster with a small boy and he was comfortable around him as long as he wouldn’t chase him. So it would really depend on the way the situation was managed by the parent (as always)

About Bob FIV

What life with Bob FIV looks like

Bob FIV is a small young adult cat waiting at Miracle in United Kingdom.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bob FIV, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bob FIV?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Miracle handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bob FIV on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bob FIV if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Miracle will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bob FIV already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bob FIV isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Miracle early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bob FIV and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
