About Checkers Reyes

Checkers Reyes is a playful tabby kitten with endearing ear tufts. He delights in chasing toys, wrestling with his siblings, and exploring every nook and cranny of his surroundings. After an energetic play session, he loves nothing more than cuddling up for attention and affection. Checkers has a charming way of asking for pets, gently tapping your arm or hand followed by an adorable squeak. He enjoys his favorite spots scratched behind his ears and a little tickle on his stomach. This little guy plays wonderfully with his brother, Scrabble, and their antics keep them busy when they are not napping together. Ideally, Checkers should be adopted with Scrabble or into a home with another playful kitten. He’s ready for a loving environment where he can grow and thrive with a feline friend. Checkers is up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, negative for FELV/FIV, and microchipped. *** PLEASE NOTE *** 4Paws will only consider local adoptions in the Northern VA/DC/MD metropolitan area. 4Paws does not adopt to students.
