About Chai

Chai is a shy young cat looking for a nurturing home. He was rescued under socialized and will require a family that understands his need for patience and positive socialization. Initially hesitant about being petted, Chai gradually warms up and enjoys affection. He tends to hide when approached but can be briefly held. It's best if Chai is kept indoors since he’s not yet comfortable with people and may not return if allowed outside. A preference exists for a home that will also take Lalisa, his companion. He comes with an XL crate and other supplies to help with the transition to a new environment. Chai and his new family will benefit from behavioral support provided by a certified cat behaviorist, available at no cost. If you're ready to give Chai the love and understanding he needs, don’t hesitate to reach out. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
