My story

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

Chucky and his littermates, Annabelle and Freddy, were living at a feral cat colony in the city. Our friends with St. Louis Feral Cat Outreach trapped them while doing TNR (trap/neuter/return) on some feral cats and realized that these babies were too young to go back. Fortunately, one of our awesome rescue friends agreed to take them in and socialize them for us until we had space. All three kitties are very long and lean and have smooth, sleek coats. Because they were caught when they were a bit older, they are shy and timid initially and need time to build trust with new people. Once they get to know you, they are little love bugs and will climb all over your lap and purr as soon as you pet them. They do startle at loud noises and sudden movement and will hide from people they do not know. However, they are docile as can be and do not have a mean bone in their bodies.

Chucky has become the most social and affectionate of the group and has the cutest face that will instantly melt your heart. He chirps at me and follows me around when he wants attention, and is the first to greet me when I sit down. When he was found, he had an injury to his nose and we aren't sure what caused it. Our vet thoroughly checked it out and it has since healed but he now has a bump there, which just adds to his character. All three kitties LOVE canned food and will come running as soon as they hear the can open. They adore other cats and seek comfort from them, so they must not be only kitties in their new homes. Because they are more timid in nature, they would do best in a quieter home without kids and with patient owners who will give them the time that they need to settle in to their new surroundings and gain confidence. I promise they are worth it as they truly are sweet, loving and affectionate kitties! Chucky is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccinations and negative for FeLV/FIV; DOB 10/5/18 (tag # 11247JB).
