About Chive

Chive is a handsome orange tabby who is approximately 7 years old and ready for a new chapter after dedicating his time as a blood donor. This independent fella enjoys his own space but also appreciates the company of others, often found relaxing near his feline roommates. He gets along well with other cats and could thrive in a home with a kitty friend. Although he might do fine with a dog, a calm introduction is essential. He prefers a tranquil environment, so a home without small children is ideal for him. Chive may take some time to warm up, so patience from his future family will be key to helping him feel comfortable in his new home. Rest assured, he is neutered, litter box trained, and up to date on all vaccinations. Chive's adoption fee is a suggested $25 donation to his care organizations, Capital Area Humane Society or Saved By Zade. This could be the beginning of a beautiful journey together.
