While they weren't quite feral enough to be returned to outdoor life, they also needed some extra time and love to become fully socialized. Thanks to the dedication of our amazing staff and volunteers, these sweet but slightly shy kittens have made incredible progress and several have already found forever homes where they have continued to blossom.<br/><br/>Shortly after their rescue, the Chips kittens faced a big challenge — they were diagnosed with Feline Panleukopenia (the feline version of parvo). With round-the-clock care and lots of TLC, every single one of them pulled through — a true miracle!<br/><br/>Today, they are happy, playful, and thriving. The only lasting effect is a bit of food sensitivity, which is easily managed with an over the counter Sensitive Stomach diet.<br/><br/>If you're looking to adopt a cat with a heartwarming rescue story and a whole lot of love to give, one of the Chips crew might just be your perfect match.<br/><br/>Fritos, a short haired tabby and white boy born 3/20/25, is more laid back and confident than many of his buddies, though he would still prefer to avoid keggers and toddler birthday parties. He's not yet a big fan of being picked up, but petting is A-OK if you're respectful!<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!
