Checkers's Story
update: 10/23/26<br/>Checkers is a cat who loves to love her special human person. She is a shy gal who doesn’t like other cats or being picked up, but she loves to plop down next to her person and soak up all the love. Once she gets comfortable she can even get quite goofy! Checkers came to us as a kitten and was adopted out, but unfortunately had to come back to us when her owner went to a nursing home. Checkers is looking for a quiet home with a loving person - she would do amazing, for instance, as a companion for a senior. She is fixed and vaccinated. If you think you might be the right person for sweet Checkers, contact catssoberlin@gmail.com. <br/><br/><br/>Update from foster parent 03/20/26 <br/><br/>"Checkers is a gentle and soft-hearted girl who just needs a little time and patience to show off her sweet personality. She can be a bit scared at first, but when given the time to feel safe, her affectionate and playful sides come out!<br/>Checkers loves one-on-one time and tends to pick her person and bond with them deeply. While she does not prefer to be picked up, she shows her love with soft headbutts and by making lots of biscuits!<br/>Checkers would do great as the only cat in your home, but she can warm up to other cats if she is given lots of space and the introduction is done slowly. She came to enjoy hanging out with her foster brother after a few weeks of adjustment time. She won’t rush into any new cat friendships, but she can make them if you let her go at her own pace!<br/>This sweet girl returned to the shelter through no fault of her own and is ready for a fresh start with someone that will provide her with a safe landing spot and nurture her gentleness.<br/>If you adopt Checkers, she will reward you with loyalty, affection, and her sweet nature. If you are looking for quiet and steady companionship, then Checkers might just be the perfect girl for you!"<br/><br/> contact catssoberlin@gmail.com. <br/><br/>Checkers came to CATSS as a kitten and has been a faithful companion to her adopter for over a year, but sadly, and through no fault of her own, she needs to find a new home. If you have if in your heart to give Checkers another chance cat forever, contact catssoberlin@gmail.com.
