Chaz is a gentle, orange cat with a quiet presence and a patient heart. He arrived at the shelter shy and withdrawn, clearly carrying some history, but over time in a loving foster home, he's made real progress. Now, once he feels secure, Chaz comes out of his shell to seek attention and relishes head and neck scratches. Watching him learn to trust and open up has been rewarding for everyone involved. Chaz is estimated to be between 2 and 4 years old. He's neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, so he's ready for a fresh start. Because other cats put him on edge, he needs to be the only cat in the household. He’ll also do best somewhere calm without young kids, where he can settle in and grow confident at his own pace. If you're patient and looking for a loyal companion, Chaz could be the missing piece. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
