Chowder's Story

Chowder is a sweet senior, girl who is a little shy. She is slowly opening up and every she is getting braver every day. She does love head scritches and snuggles, within reason. She would be much happier in a home than in the shelter where she can have some privacy. She does have chronic sniffles but has been seen by two vets who said this isn't a health issue and will just be something she has to deal with. She is also on the larger side which just makes her the perfect hugging size. Chowder would love a home that is on the quieter side so she can feel comfortable in her environment. If you are looking for a cat who is sweet and will be happy to keep you company Chowder may be the cat for you.
