CHESTER

Meet CHESTER
Chester and Chico were trapped at Kirkland Correctional Institution when they were about 14 weeks old and very scared. They were so cute, and seemed to want to respond to us, however, so instead of fixing them and sending them back to the prison as we do with the adult ferals from Kirkland, we decided to give them a chance at being socialized and hopefully eventually adopted, even though we had absolutely no room or time to do this with 100+ other cats in our care. We put their pictures on Facebook asking for adopters or fosters who could work on socializing them to give them a chance, but noone stepped forward, and once again we had to do it ourselves. This meant working with them at 1 o'clock in the morning much of the time, after we had fed, watered, medicated and cleaned up after all the other cats. But Chico and Chester fortunately responded beautifully even though they were a bit older than the age at which ferals are normally more easily tameable. They are now perfectly tame and would make wonderful kitties for someone. They could be adopted separately, but it would be really nice if they could stay together - they usually sleep and play together, although they also get along great with a black and white kitty about their same age who also came from the prison, and an adult calico kitty that we already had. They have a lot of purrsonality - Chico is the most playful and adventurous one, although Chester plays, too, but he's a little more laid back. They love to stretch out and flop and sleep on their backs in cute positions. Chico and Chester are tested for feline leukemia and FIV, neutered, on topical flea control and have been dewormed. and adoption also includes microchipping If you are interested in adopting one or both kitties, please e-mail us at [email protected] and tell us briefly where you live, your vet's name, and a little about yourself and family, if any, pets you've owned, past and present, whether you prefer an indoor or indoor/outdoor kitty, with claws or declawed.
