Chad's Story

First from the photos, you have to admit Chad is quite photogenic. He can also be rather talkative.<br/><br/>Chad is now officially a young adult cat, born in July 2025. He had quite the childhood. He and his siblings caused their fair share of trouble but now he has matured. No more unwinding rolls of toilet paper. Instead, he likes to occasionally fish around in the old cat toy basket searching for a new toy to play with. On rare occasion, even scattering several toys around not able to make up his mind. He still occasionally loses his favorite soft jingle ball under the dresser and has to wait for it to get fished out.<br/><br/>Chad doesn't like being trapped. He can get a bit noisy riding in a carrier or trapped in the bedroom when circumstances warrant putting him in there, such as for a meet and greet. Chad loves to be cuddled plenty of times, but other times will feel trapped so will wiggle out of the foster parent's attempt to cuddle. Chad can be shy about strangers showing up. He will hide under the dresser and watch what is going on. It will take some effort to coax him out to meet any interested adopters, but once he gets to know you he will be nicely interactive.<br/><br/>Of the sibling cats, Chad is the one that interacted most with the house cocker spaniel. He probably picked up his chattiness from learning from the dog. Just like the dog, he also likes to scratch at the throw on the bed to bunch it up before flopping down to relax. He even on occasion looks like he is walking a bit funny till you realize he is trying to wag his tail like the dog (and failing). He also often will take over the dogs bed who then has to sleep elsewhere. He is even known to come running when called often enough though he has been interacting more with the cats over the months so is picking up more of the senior household cat's habits as well.<br/><br/>Chad like most cats is very curious and does like to look out the window watching and chattering at the birds during the warm months of the year. <br/><br/>To adopt you must first complete an adoption application and meet the cat in its foster home. We do not do same day adoptions so, generally, we can only adopt within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
