About Chai

Chai is a playful and affectionate young male cat, eagerly looking for a loving home. He's available for adoption at ACC's Mobile Adoption Event on Sunday, November 8 from 12 PM to 4 PM in Brooklyn, NY. He thrives on cheek and chin scratches, and his purr motor is always in action. While Chai is friendly, he prefers slow introductions to new people and environments to feel secure. Currently, Chai is receiving treatment for ringworm, a minor fungal infection that is harmless in his case. It’s important to keep him separate from other pets while he recovers, and you'll need to wash hands and possibly wear specific clothes when interacting with him. Regular dips and washing his bedding will help minimize any spread. Chai will benefit from appropriate toys to satisfy his playful energy. This kitty is ready to meet you!
