Meet “#8″ aka Wendy’s #8 Asiago Ranch Chicken Club Sandwich”

✨ Meet “#8” ✨
aka Wendy’s #8 Asiago Ranch Chicken Club Sandwich
(yes, that is his full, legal, extremely important name)

Meet #8 — a super handsome, super loving, long-haired, neutered male with the personality of a labradoodle and the floof of a luxury throw blanket 🛋️💅. About 2 years old, this affectionate boy is ready to retire from his brief street life and commit fully to couches, cuddles, and being worshipped.

📖 His Story

#8 showed up at a colony feeding station about two months ago and immediately made it clear he was not feral.

He ran straight up to the feeder, flopped over, exposed his belly, and radiated big goofy labradoodle energy, essentially saying:
“Me hungry. Feed me. I wuv you.”

Once the feeder connected with us, a trap was borrowed and we began working through the colony. Signals got a little crossed, so #8 ended up at Bonita Animal Services for his neuter and does have a clipped ear—but he is so incredibly fluffy that no one will ever notice.

What was noticeable?
He was too sweet, too social, and too handsome to go back outside.

He had been getting his fuzzy butt kicked on the streets and came in covered in bite scabs with a painful abscess. We got him straight into our amazing vet, Pet Hospital of North Park, who agreed this boy should absolutely not return to outdoor life—especially while healing.

Despite all that glorious fluff, #8 weighed only 10 pounds. He’s a big-boned guy who had clearly been struggling to get enough food out there.

🛁 Spa Day (and Forgiveness)

After his vet visit, we treated him to a full spa evening: careful mat clipping followed by a bubble bath. He tolerated it… barely… and has since agreed to groom himself now that he’s no longer fighting for food or female companionship. He would prefer not to repeat the experience 😌.

He loves being brushed, and his future human will need to be willing to put in the time—because this boy is SO. MUCH. FLOOF.

That said… after one Churu, he immediately forgave his foster mama for what he considers to be light water-boarding.

(direct quotes from him)

“Foster mama… can you peel me a Churu and gently squeeze it directly into my mouth?”
“Foster mama… I am hot because I am extremely fluffy. Please fan me with a palm frond.”
“Foster mama… I must reward you by making biscuits. Please lie down so I may do so on your belly.”
“Foster mama… biscuit making is very tiring. I am once again famished. Another Churu, please.”
“I love you, foster mama. Thank you for saving me from the streets and literally putting me in the lap of luxury. I love your lap.” 💛

🧬 About FIV (Short, Honest, Not Scary)

#8 is FIV positive, which sounds much scarier than it actually is.

What that really means:
• Not contagious to humans
• Not spread through sharing bowls, litter boxes, grooming, or cuddling
• Spread only through deep bite wounds (not play, not scratches)
• Indoor FIV+ cats live normal, happy lifespans

We have many FIV-positive cats adopted from our rescue—some now up to 18 years old, healthy and thriving. #8 does not need daily meds or special treatment.

He’d do best with calm, respectful cats or as an only cat, which honestly might be his dream because he is very people-focused.

We are always happy to answer questions 💬.
