Chenille

This pretty girl with the white toes is Chenille. She and her siblings were rescued from a hoarding situation when they were fairly young. Although most of Chenille's siblings were adopted as youngsters, Chenille was diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) so has had to say in our care until now. Fortunately, Chenille not only survived FIP, but she has beaten it and is very healthy now. <br/><br/>Although Chenille was shy as a kitten, she has really blossomed into a fun adult! She's just 1 year old and she's spunky, playful, and affectionate; the perfect trifecta! When Chenille is in a playful mood, she'll either be engaged with a toy, or she's racing from one end of the house to the other at full tilt. However, once it's time to settle down, Chenille is very affectionate and loves her people. She isn't comfortable with children, but she really likes to snuggle with calm adults. She'll rub her head all over their hands and will push the other cats out of the way to hog all of the attention. She can actually be a bit 'smacky' if other cats get too close to her during her 'human cuddle time.' <br/><br/>Chenille has always lived with lots of other cats and has gotten along with them well. However, as she's come into her own, she's a bit more selective about the cats that she'll spend time with. She is not looking for a cat friend who will snuggle with her, but she could do well with a laid back male who gives her space and provides support from the sidelines, or who m ay want to run around with her. However, it will be important that if Chenille has a feline friend, that they aren't the dominant or jealous type - that would be an immediate personality clash. Although Chenille has never been an only cat, she might learn to be Ok with it if her person is home all of the time to provide her with attention. <br/><br/>Chenille is afraid of dogs so needs a dog-free home. <br/><br/>Since Chenille has a very fluffy coat, she will need a family who is willing to groom her regularly to ensure that her fur doesn't get matted. It will be very prone to knots if not cared for properly. <br/><br/>Chenille loves her food and will inhale any wet or dry food that's put in front of her. She's food motivated so using food and treats is a great way to bond with her. However, her calorie intake will need to be monitored to ensure her waistline doesn't get too big. She will need a home with someone who will provide regular, measured feedings; she will not be able to to free-fed. <br/><br/>If you'd like to learn more about Chenille, please visit https://victoriapets.ca/adoption-process/ for more information about the adoption process and for a copy of our online adoption application.
