Guinness's Story

Breed: Domestic Shorthair<br/>Estimated Birthdate: 10/11/2024<br/>Adoption Fee: $25<br/><br/>Guinness is a gentle soul with a sweet, quiet charm. He may start off a little shy, but deep down, all he wants is to be loved. Every day he’s discovering just how wonderful pets, cuddles, and cozy spots can be. He loves neck massages, happily walks up for special pets, and even lets you pick him up. At night, he enjoys snuggling on the couch or curling up in bed for a while before settling in.<br/><br/>Guinness is WONDERFUL with other cats and lives with quite a few other foster sibling cats and shares a room with two small dogs who he gets along great with! His calm, kind nature makes him an easy companion! He has a soft spot for treats—especially the lickable ones—and is always looking for a warm place to relax!<br/><br/>Now for his story:<br/>Guinness came from a heartbreaking hoarding situation and was extremely timid when he first arrived. He hid for months under furniture, unsure of people and unsure of himself. But since March, he has made incredible progress. His health has improved, his coat is shiny, and his personality has blossomed in the most beautiful way.<br/><br/>Guinness is now ready to find his forever family—a patient, loving home where he can continue to grow in confidence and share all the love he’s been waiting to give.<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting gentle Guinness, please fill out the application below!<br/><br/>www.rubywhiskers.org/adopt<br/><br/>This cat is currently in a foster home in Chicago's southwest suburbs and can be seen by appointment once an adoption application is completed and approved by the rescue.
