About Choy

Choy is a charming 10-year-old diabetic cat who is looking for a loving forever home. As a special needs senior, he truly deserves a place where he can feel safe and comfortable, away from the shelter environment. With his stunning ocelot markings on his back and sides, he's quite the handsome fellow. Choy is also polydactyl, boasting some wonderfully chunky paws. He prefers to be the only cat in a household and would thrive best in an adult-only home, given that he can be a bit feisty at times. However, don't let that fool you; he's also incredibly sweet and absolutely loves treats. Choy is currently in Yonkers, NY, at Yonkers Animal Shelter. Let's help him find that special someone who can provide a loving home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
