They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply? Now is your chance to welcome a true local celebrity into your life! Cheeks has charmed everyone around him, both at his rescue and on social media. When you meet this big, gentle fellow, you'll quickly see what all the fuss is about. On one of the coldest nights of winter, Cheeks was found trying to fend for himself, scavenging for food before he was brought to safety. Cheeks is an older gentleman with a history you can read in his soulful eyes and see in his unique crinkle ear and an array of scars. These days, thanks to the love and care he's received, he's enjoying the best side of life—lounging in soft beds, tucked into cozy nooks, and basking in the comfort he's always deserved. Cheeks is all about simple pleasures, from snuggling into warm spaces to being gently petted and enjoying chin, neck, and butt scratches. He loves his wet food and, true to his new lease on life, has even started vocalizing his requests for snacks! This mellow, low-key guy would thrive in a calm, quiet home where life moves at a relaxed pace. While Cheeks is happiest with adult companions, homes with older, calm children might be suitable as well. He gets along with other mellow cats but would also be content to be your one and only cat. Not only has Cheeks been neutered and is up to date on his vaccines, but he's also FIV positive and has successfully undergone treatment for FIP. Any interested adopters should educate themselves on FIP, though recurrence is rare. If you're looking for a peaceful, loving companion for your TV nights or work-from-home days, Cheeks could be the perfect fit. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
