My story

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

Hi! I'm Churu! I was struggling to survive on the streets in Daly City but lucky for me, a Good Samaritan found me and took me in after noticing I had a wound. After receiving the medical care I needed, I made it clear I didn’t want to go back outside after being in a safe and comfortable home.

I’m a shy, playful, and affectionate kitty. I’m still building my confidence in my new indoor environment and learning the ins and outs of the indoor life. For example, when my foster mom is on the bed and I want attention, I’m not sure what I should do. Do I jump up onto the bed and go to her? Do I wait down below and wait for her to come to me? I just need a little guidance when it comes to situations like this until I learn the answers.

Although I'm still shy, I'm not too shy to show my playful and affectionate sides. I love playing with wand toys and really anything with feathers. Playing with me is a great way to help me build my confidence and it will also make you smile. It’s a win-win! And when I’m ready to relax with you, I’ll rev up my purr motor, ask for pets, and even roll over for some belly rubs.

I’m looking for a quieter home with a patient and loving family who will continue to show me all of amazing things that come along with my new indoor life. I feel so lucky to be off the streets and given the chance at a safe and carefree life!

Concerned about me being FIV+? There's lots of informative reading material online to free you of any worries. I can live a long healthy life and safely with other cats, meow. Here's one website that offers some important information - Best Friends - FIV FAQs

Please note:

Churu has tested positive for FIV.

More about this rescue

Every day adult and senior cats with treatable medical and behavioral conditions are euthanized. GIVE ME SHELTER's goal is to rescue these cats from certain death and place them into loving permanent homes.
GMS is a registered 501(c)3 organization and is dedicated to helping stop the overpopulation of unwanted and abandoned cats. We are a small group of dedicated volunteers who are committed to bettering the life of adult cats who no longer have a home to call their own. Every time you adopt from us, you allow us to save another cat that would have otherwise died. We receive new cats into our system almost every week. Our website is constantly being updated, so please check back often!
