About Katatin

Meet Katatin, a small and charming chihuahua who is around 7 years old. He came to us as an owner surrender and has had to adjust to a new chapter in his life. Shy at first, Katatin quickly warms up and enjoys cuddles and attention, but he prefers to set the pace, so patience is essential. With some dental work recently completed and all vaccinations updated, he’s ready to find a loving home. Katatin has a feisty chihuahua spirit and shows typical "tough guy" behavior with larger dogs, so a calm environment without big breeds suits him best. He may tolerate well-mannered small dogs and has done alright with cats, but we recommend an adult-only home. He enjoys short walks and has a knack for burrowing under blankets to stay cozy. If you’re looking for a sweet companion full of personality, Katatin might just be your perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
