Checkers Tuxedo & Domestic Short Hair Mix Pickerington, OH

Checkers is seeking a special forever home! She and her siblings were rescued when found outdoors, and she is the last one awaiting adoption. Checkers is currently living in a foster home in the Columbus area, and she enjoys playing with the other cats/kittens in her foster home. Her hobbies include playing with strings, looking out windows, and watching YouTube videos featuring birds and other critters. Checkers also loves to eat, as evident by her slightly chonky figure. This adorable girl is very playful and curious, and she almost always has a wide-eyed expression. She doesn’t often meow, but when she’s happy or excited, she’ll make a chirping type of sound. Checkers has made a lot of progress in her foster home, but she can still be a little rough around the edges. If she gets scared or overstimulated, she may playfully swat or nip at hands. She also sometimes chews on her cardboard cat house, and she occasionally forgets that she’s not supposed to use her murder mittens on the carpet. While Checkers has an amazing personality, she can be timid initially and does require time to warm up to new people. When first rescued, she was spicy, and she would hide and hiss. However, now she climbs in her foster mom’s lap, purrs, rolls around, and gives nuzzles and head butts. Due to her personality, Checkers is best suited for a quiet home without children or dogs. Her ideal person will have experience with cats and be loving, patient, and understanding. Checkers is approximately 10 months old, and she has been fully vetted - tested, spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated.
