About Chester

Meet Chester, a lovable 4-year-old domestic short hair who was rescued as a lost, injured cat. He had a significant abscess on his neck that required careful healing, but that hasn’t dampened his spirit. Chester is a true character; watching him is a delight. He often strikes comical poses, like resting his elbow on his food bowl or stretching out while pushing his blanket aside, making it tough to catch the perfect photo. Chester thrives on attention. He's a total love bug who relishes chin scratches and neck rubs. The moment he senses someone approaching, he's eager for cuddles, often jumping into your lap for some petting. Despite his playful nature and curiosity, his main desire is simply to be loved. This big boy weighs a solid 15.2 lbs and is ready for a forever home. Chester's adoption fee is $70, supporting his neuter, vaccinations, microchip, and care at the shelter. Though Chester is FeLV+, he can live a happy life with the right care. He needs a forever home as an indoor-only cat, ideally with other FeLV+ felines. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
