This stunning tripawd boy came to AFRP from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after their staff contacted us for help! Originally a stray with a serious leg injury and paralysis, Checkers had a rough start! Now, after receiving care and love from our dedicated clinic staff and his loving foster, Checkers has a new outlook on life!
Checkers is quite an energetic and loving boy, despite only have three legs! He's known to be very intelligent and curious, always interested in everything and everyone who is around him! Checkers loves running to greet his foster every time she returns home, and is extremely talkative, chirping and meowing up a storm! Given his young age, he's a pretty active kitty who's absolutely obsessed with playing any chance he may get!
Despite his energetic personality, at night he turns into the purrfect snuggle buddy that needs to be as close to his human as possible! Oddly enough, he also has a strange interest in water, sitting by the tub during showers and immediately hopping in once the water is off, preferring to drink from a leaky faucet or a "people glass nearby! He also gets a thrill out of watching wildlife from the windows and has taken to "hunting his favorite toys, especially his Tempur-Pedic pillow that he drags from the bed to wrestle with!
Checkers is a very outgoing kitty, but he is a cat that tends to become over aroused or overstimulated and would greatly benefit from an experienced owner who understands kitty body language. Checkers would do best in a home with experienced adult adopters, or with families who have cat-savvy children over the age of 15 at this time. He's very people-oriented and he may do well with another confident, outgoing cat. He is not a good match for a gentle, quiet cat as he can play rough. He may do well with a cat-savvy dog given slow and gradual introductions.
Checkers is currently on a special diet due to chin acne likely caused by a food allergy. He may need to stay in this diet long term.
Checkers is currently at our adoptions location inside Pet Food Express at the Crossroads in Carmel. Meet and greets can be arranged once your online application has been approved. Visit www.animalfriendsrescue.org for our online cat application.
