Cheetos

***NOTE: This pet is currently at the shelter in Republic, WA, and can be delivered to an approved adopter on our 5/2/26 adopted pet transport to Monroe, WA to begin a 30-day trial placement – part of our distance adoption program.***<br/><br/>Considering adopting? The first step is to complete our online Adoption Application at http://forgetmenotshelter.org/application<br/><br/>Please do not call the shelter; do the application first.<br/><br/>Cheetos, a short haired tabby and white boy born 3/20/25, has the long-suffering air of a kitty who thinks "OK, you might eat me... do what you must, sigh, just make it quick." He will be so grateful to join your calm household and be allowed to blossom at his own pace. He's the most challenging to get on video, as the frenetic activity of the other kitties has him mostly hanging back out of the way. You can see in his short clip that he tolerates his grooming session, and KIND OF enjoys the petting and skritches, but his "flight response" is on a hair-trigger.<br/><br/>He will likely never be a particularly outgoing cat, but we are sure that having the opportunity to decompress from the shelter in a warm, safe, calm, and loving home setting will enable Cheetos to become a happy and contented kitty. He really just wants a place to call his own where he can be left alone unless/until he wants some attention.<br/><br/>Here is more information on adopting a shy cat: https://anticruelty.org/pet-library/adopting-shy-cat<br/><br/>We give shy cats an extended 60-day trial adoption period, to give you extra time to bond.<br/><br/>All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee is a suggested minimum of $50 (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts.<br/><br/>Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!
