From The Cats' Cradle of NC

Meet Ozzy – A Gentle Black Cat in Need of an FELV-Friendly Home Ozzy is a sleek, all-black cat with striking auburn eyes and a calm, sweet soul. He was found living outside a local liquor store, where kind staff had been feeding him and calling him that name. Despite his difficult circumstances, Ozzy greeted everyone with happiness—always excited when food or a kind hand came his way. He loves petting and even belly rubs (which he willing rolls over for and watches while you rub his belly). He is food motivated but will stop in between bites to get more head scratches. I haven't found anything he dislikes yet. I had intended to rescue him to be friends with my two indoor girls, but he came back positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus), and now he needs the safety of a dedicated FELV colony or sanctuary so he won't infect my ladies. He is fully vetted - as of Sept 29, 2025, he received a full check up, combo blood screen, vaccinations (minus FELV), microchip and neuter. He was good throughout all the tests and the vet techs loved him. He is recovered from the neuter but has not had any issues. This boy has a truly wonderful temperament. Even while struggling outdoors, he remained…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
