My story

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

Checkers is an adorable, sweet 7-month-old male kitten with stunning tabby markings and incredibly soft fur that’s perfect for snuggles. While he may be shy at first, don’t let that fool you—he’s just waiting for the right person to earn his trust. With patience, treats, and a few wand toy play sessions, Checkers comes out of his shell and becomes the playful, affectionate companion you’ve been looking for!

Checkers is a cat who needs time and patience. It takes him time to feel safe and secure with the people in his life, and when that trust is earned? Pure magic.

He’s an intelligent and curious boy who loves to explore and interact, especially once he feels comfortable. If you're looking for a companion who may take a little bit of work and patience to win over: Checkers is ready to grow into a loyal, loving friend. He really loves other cats and is good with cat savvy dogs. Checkers needs to go to a home with at least another cat who can show him the ropes and that he is safe. Could he be the perfect match for you? Come meet Checkers today and win him over!

All of our cats come spayed or neutered, microchipped, and with their initial age-appropriate vaccinations. Young cats have an adoption fee of $175. If you would like to apply to be a forever home for this cat, please fill out a statement of interest at www.alternativehumanesociety.com. Unless otherwise indicated, all our cats and kittens are best suited for indoor-only life.
