Let me introduce you to the delightful Checkmate! 🐾 This adorable, 6-month-old female orange tabby kitten is not just a rarity—she's a treasure! Did you know that it's quite unusual to find an orange female? That makes you super lucky if you choose to welcome her into your heart! ❤️ Checkmate began her journey on a chicken farm, where she and her three siblings were discovered by some compassionate humans. They got the little ones the vet care they needed and reached out to the amazing Purring Hearts VA rescue for support. With a name inspired by games, this little cutie is now thriving in a cozy foster home alongside her brother, Lottery. 🎲 While she loves to romp around and play, she can also keep herself amused with toys until the time for snuggles comes around. Ah, but what a joy it is to cuddle! 😻 Full of playful kitten energy, Checkmate would thrive in a home with another young feline friend, especially with her brother by her side—two is definitely better than one! Curious? Oh yes, she is! Some might even say she’s a bit nosey, always following her foster parents around to see what’s happening. But big human faces? A little intimidating! Kisses? Not quite yet! 💋 Checkmate is still learning the ropes of getting along with other cats but with the right introduction, she’ll adapt just fine. She’s not had the chance to meet kids or dogs yet, so it’s best for her to land in a cat-only oasis, ideally with older kids (12+) who can understand her more reserved nature. If you’re seeking a playful, affectionate little companion who brings joy and sass into your life, Checkmate might just be your perfect match! 🌟 She’s been spayed, is up-to-date on her vaccines, has tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and is microchipped—what a catch! 🎉 And remember, if you want to snatch this lovely gem for your family, make sure to *apply through the Buddy App*! You won't want to miss out on this adorable orange tabby—make your move today!
