My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

 



​We have such a sweet tooth for Choco Taco!

This absolute gentleman is known for his easygoing attitude. He just wants to relax, befriend everyone he meets, and be right near his favorite people. When he wants attention he will gently wave his paw and lay on his tummy for belly rubs. He loves to play with small toys that roll around, and he loves to sit on the windowsill where he can watch the cars and people go by. Choco is a chatty cat, but he tends not to meow, rather communicate through soft chirps!

He loves Churus, and a frozen Churu is his favorite cold treat (since he can’t eat real choco tacos). A curious cat, he could likely join a home with a more low-key and social kitty looking for a nap partner. While he hasn't been around kids, we do think he could thrive in a home with children due to his gentle and well-mannered behavior.

Choco Taco takes daily medications to manage his asthma and seizures, and while these conditions need to be monitored, they do not affect him very much on a day to day basis. The most important thing is making sure that he gets his medication on a tight schedule, one which he has memorized and will remind you about with gentle chirps around 10 minutes before.

Choco Taco is truly a delight in every sense of the word, and he would love to be your new best friend! He will also go home with a fabulous THREE MONTH SUPPLY CARE PACKAGE!
