Cheeks's Story

Hurry!!! Now's your chance to live with a TCR celebrity! Cheeks has been a huge hit not only in the rescue but on social media. Once you meet this big, mellow dude, you will completely understand. On one of the coldest nights this past winter, Cheeks was caught trying to survive by eating the cat food scraps in his foster mom's garbage. If that doesn't scream "I'm a Trash Cat!" then what does? Cheeks is an older gentleman who has seen some really hard times. If it wasn't evident by his crinkle ear and scars on his body, you can tell from looking into his sweet, soulfully sad eyes. Thanks to TCR, Cheeks is no longer fighting to survive and appreciates the comforts in life. Cheeks loves laying in a warm, comfy bed or on a cardboard lounger scratcher. He seems to enjoy being down low and crawling into cave-like or fuzzy, warm donut style cat beds. However, he has been spotted in the cubbies of the cat tree a couple of times. Cheeks enjoys being petted and chin, neck, and butt scratches. He is easy to handle but doesn't care to be held. Cheeks LOVES wet food! He has even started meowing for it then will look shockingly at his foster mom as if to say "Did I do that?" This guy is extremely low key and looking for a quiet, calm home where he can lounge, eat, and be treated like the royalty he is. We feel Cheeks would do best in an adult only home, but older, calm, quiet children may be okay. Cheeks gets along with other cats who respect his space but would also be fine with being your one and only. Cheeks is estimated to be at almost/at least seven years old. He has been neutered, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV+ / FeLV-. He had a dental with TCR and was also treated for FIP (feline infectious peritonitis). Although a reinfection with FIP would be considered rare, we would still recommend that any interested adopters educate themselves on this disease and what signs/symptoms to look out for. If you are looking for a chill guy to hang out with while you watch TV or WFH, apply to adopt Cheeks today!

Trash Cat Rescue's Adoption Policy

Typically the potential adopter reaches out either with or without a specific cat in mind. We will usually ask questions about the type of cat the adopter is interested in (any preferences as far as gender, color, personality, etc.), as well as the sort of home the cat would be going to (any kids, other pets, etc.). If we have a cat or kitten who would be a good fit, the adopter can fill out our application for that animal. If not, the person can still fill out the app, and we will keep them if mind if we end up with a cat who we think would be a good fit. Once the app is reviewed/approved (including checking vet and landlord references), we would chat any further with the adopter if needed, and then schedule a meet and greet with them with the cat or kitten. If the animal and the adopter hit it off, the adopter would then fill out our adoption agreement, pay the adoption fee, and take the cat or kitten home!

Our Mission

To reduce feline suffering and overpopulation using a combination of TNR and adoptions. We foster and socialize whenever we have the resources to do so, including behavioral cats and kittens who might otherwise just be candidates for TNR.
