About Chestnut

Meet Chestnut, one of the adorable Nut litter! Along with siblings Almond Joy, Hazelnut, and Peanut, he came to us from a feral mama who was safely trapped, spayed, and returned home. Thanks to a loving foster environment, Chestnut has turned into a sweet, playful, and delightful little kitten. At around 8 weeks old, he will soon be ready for his forever home. Chestnut will be neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. Potential adopters should know that their mother tested positive for FIV. While Chestnut may also test positive due to antibodies, many FIV-positive cats live happy, healthy lives, particularly when they are well cared for. These kittens thrive with companions, so adopting in pairs or ensuring he has another playful kitty would be ideal. Chestnut is friendly, adaptable, and is looking for a loving home where he can continue to grow and explore. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
