My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If you would like more information about Chance or are interested in adopting him, please send an email to ynocetti@gmail.com or contact this number, (718) 619-5775

Chance started to come to my house with cuts, dirty and hungry. He had mange and a bad bite, puncture or cut on his throat. I was very concerned and alarmed about his injury and started to try and get close to provide a topical antibiotic and pain medicine I had from other cats. I started to feed him and of course, explained to neighbors that I was feeding him but planning to catch, neuter and release him and to please don’t harm him. I noticed him getting in better health and that sometimes he just came around to be petted more than to be fed. Really! He was asking for a bit of compassion and nurturing. I asked for help and borrowed a trap and finally caught him. I had him neutered, vaccinated for rabies and feline leukemia, and treated for fleas.

Chance needs a home where he can be free of stress and give and receive love. He has had a hard time in his life, where he has been attacked, weathered all types of heat and cold and I know he’s very scared of thunderstorms. He doesn’t get along very well with other animals because he has had to defend himself all this life and has been left with emotional and physical scars! (the physical scars I was able to cure, and he looks super cute now). He uses the litter extremely well and likes dry cat food and a little wet food sometimes. He likes to drink a lot of water and loves treats.

I pray that he can get the forever home he deserves and can make someone as happy as he makes me. He likes adults and can be very sweet. After he gets to know you, he likes to be combed and caressed. He does not do well with children that can fuss with him, but he will not harm them if they do not bother him.

His ideal environment and adoption scenario is a family or person with no other pets. He likes to watch TV with me and be cozy in an ottoman next to me. He follows me everywhere and likes to be next to people. He doesn’t like to be alone all the time but can be alone until someone gets home.
