Cooper is an affectionate 2-year-old cat that loves to head-butt the staff and rub on their legs. He has a charming meow and will be best buds with whoever is lucky enough to take him home.
“Cooper is a sweet boy that loves to rub against your hand. He is very cuddly and looking for someone to be his best friend,” says a Hawaiian Humane Society team member.
If you are looking for
a friendly cat, Cooper is
the perfect match for
you. He will need to be
kept indoors because
he is FIV+. FIV is not
contagious to humans,
and FIV+ cats can live

Hawaiian Humane Society continues to adopt by appointment only. Book one online at hawaiianhumane.org/adoptions. The website also has the most up-to-date information on animals

adoptions, programs and coronavirus updates.
