My name is Chester!

Hello, I’m Chester! Don’t let my grumpy face fool you - I am a sweet and loving little boy. I currently live with my 5 siblings and have spent a little time with the resident dog and cat. I love to play and explore my surroundings. I also love cuddles - I will rub myself all over you for some good chin scratches! I do tend to grumble when I’m eating with my siblings but I’ve never shown any signs of aggression…my foster parents think it just goes along with my grumpy but adorable face. I would love to be adopted with one of my siblings!

Chester is from a stray surrender with 5 siblings. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.  

Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
