My story

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

Meet the wonderful Chewbacca AKA Chewy, a big love bug waiting for his forever home! Weighing in at a svelte 22 pounds, Chewy is a four year old sweetie who loves to be brushed, pet, cuddled…really any kind of attention. He is a chill guy who enjoys sitting on the couch, playing with his catnip toy, and making biscuits on his blankets.



But make no mistake — he is also very adventurous, more agile than you’d think and able to jump on top of tables and chairs. He’s also quite social; during his time with his foster family, he has been greeting all guests with purrs and loving headbutts. He barely needs a treat to warm up, though it certainly helps.



Chewy is litter trained and very well behaved. While he might take a few days to open up in a new environment, a bit of patience really does pay off! Within just a week of his stay as a foster, he became the undisputed king of the house. Chewy is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. The doc has deemed him healthy despite being a hefty boy. He would do fine in a house with kids or other pets, but would also be a great companion for anyone with a more stay at home lifestyle. 



Vaccinated for rabies and FVRCP. Neutered, FeLV / FIV negative, and microchipped.



To apply for Chewbacca, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the animal is on our website, they are still available.



Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable cat, or final size of any of our adoptable kittens. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the cat into our rescue.
