About Chewie

Meet Chewie! This gentle and timid guy came to us late in July after being found outside. Although he experienced a home environment briefly, it didn’t quite work out. Chewie is FIV+, which means he has a slightly compromised immune system. It's ideal for him to either be the only cat in a home or to go to someone experienced with cats who can introduce him slowly to companions. He’s neutered, up-to-date on his vaccinations, and fully litterbox trained. If you think Chewie would fit well in your family, fill out an adoption application or come by during our business hours. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
