About Chip
Chip is a classic undercat comeback story. He started his foster life pressed flat under the bed, but now he’s out in the spotlight, owning his newfound confidence and never far from his bonded brother Watson. Wrestling matches are routine for this duo, and Chip is the ringleader—afterward, you’ll find him at the window, supervising the bird activity or soaking up some sun on the balcony in his harness. Brushing sessions with the Kong cat brush are his personal spa time, and his purr is the heartbeat of the house. At bedtime, expect a competitive scramble for the best spot above their human. Chip asks for affection with the softest paw tap and prefers to stay close by. He lives with IBD but takes his meds and prescription food without protest and is thriving under this routine. Because of his background, Chip is best suited for a home with adults or teens confident around cats. His social circle so far has been limited to Watson, so new pet friends are an unknown. He’s a foster-to-adopt candidate, giving you the chance to make sure the fit is right before calling it permanent. Make room for one velvety black cat and his oversized personality.
