Hi, I’m Checkers 🐾 Professional Snuggler, 12 Years Young I may be a petite little tabby lady, but don’t let my size fool you—I have big cuddle energy. I was found near some condos in Troy while a volunteer was helping another cat. I was already spayed (which probably means I once had a home), and honestly? I’m way too sweet to ever be on my own again. I am super sweet, obsessed with companionship, and fully committed to being in your personal space at all times. I am a certified lap cat. If you sit down, I sit on you. If you wear a hoodie, I will absolutely burrow inside it like a tiny, purring marshmallow. It’s my thing. I love making biscuits, giving nonstop cuddles, and I might drool a little when I’m extra happy (that’s just proof of my affection). You can carry me around, shower me with love, and call me cute all day—I will allow it. My favorite toy is the legendary catnip banana! I’m looking for a calm, cozy home with a human who wants a best friend. I do best with older, mellow cats, or I’d be perfectly happy being your spoiled only girl. Mostly, I just want companionship, warmth, and someone to love with my whole tiny heart. So… got a lap? A hoodie? A spot in your heart? Cool. I’ll take all three.
