About Chickie

Meet Chickie! This charming gray kitten came to us with her mother, Mother Hen, and her playful siblings. Like many young kittens, Chickie missed out on early socialization, so she’s still learning to trust people. New faces and situations can make her a bit shy, so she needs a patient adopter who understands that building trust takes time. In a calm home environment, with gentle encouragement and consistent support, Chickie can learn that humans can also provide love and comfort. When she plays with her siblings, her vibrant personality shines through. She enjoys chasing toys, wrestling her littermates, and zipping around during playtime. This joyful side is a reminder that Chickie just needs some extra time to feel comfortable with people. If you have a gentle spirit, a peaceful home, and the patience to help a shy kitten grow, Chickie might be the perfect match for you. The journey of helping her see the world as a fun and safe place will be incredibly rewarding. Every adoption includes spaying/neutering, deworming, FELV testing, microchipping, and up-to-date vaccinations. Click apply to start the adoption process.
