About Cheddar

Cheddar is a sweet and affectionate boy who adores being close to his human, especially while curled up on the couch. With simple joys like batting around toy balls, soaking up some sunshine, and indulging in chin and ear scratches, he brings a gentle happiness to any home. He's a foodie at heart, which makes caring for him a breeze. Cheddar needs insulin injections every 12 hours for his diabetes, but he hardly notices when distracted by tasty treats. We're currently exploring prescription food, so his diet may evolve a bit over time. Cheddar gets along well with other cats and is the perfect companion for someone looking for a furry friend who will share both couch space and heart. Ready to welcome Cheddar into your life?
