Six-year-old Joey weighs 18 pounds and is very chill. He enjoys pets and watching his surroundings. He loves to plop beside people and just be near them. Joey doesn’t mind most other cats. He is currently on a weight-loss journey, so he needs an adopter who will continue with his diet and work on his activity. Joey is FIV-positive, so he must remain inside and be the only cat in the home or live with other FIV-positive cats. Email the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.
