About Chucky

Meet Chucky and Freddy! While their names might sound spooky, these two boys are actually pretty shy. Chucky, a buff tabby, and Freddy, a sleek black cat, are about 4 months old and missed out on some early socialization. As a result, they’re still learning that humans can be friendly. They need a patient and understanding home with a confident cat to help them feel more at ease in the world. Chucky gets along with other cats and even dogs, but these boys aren't ready for young children just yet. With a little love, they will discover that life can be enjoyable. If you think you can give Chucky and Freddy a supportive home, reach out to the City of Boston Animal Shelter. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
