My story

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

Name: Chunky

Breed: Domestic Shorthair
Age: 5-6
Vaccines: To be done promptly
Neutered: Yes
Chip: No
Temperament: Loving, cuddly, energetic, vocal, sweet
Enjoys: pets, being carried around, direct eye contact, compliments, chasing toys around, sleeping, getting his picture taken
Potty trained?: Yes
Coat: Mixed
Eyes: Green and soulful

Get along with dogs? unknown (no dogs)

Good with cats? Unknown (no interactions)

Good with kids? Unknown (no kids)

How long have you had the pet for? 3 months

Reason for rehoming? Chunky is sweet boy who has been outside most of his life. We have been feeding him for 3 years. He had some health issues with his ears in January of 2024, so we brought him inside and took care of him. His ears are nearly perfect now; he just needs cleanings with a solution ever week or two to maintain. He takes the cleanings very well. We are also able to cut his nails. Unfortunately, in getting him healthy, we discovered Chunky has FIV. All this means is that his immune system is weaker than normal cats. It also means he cannot live with other cats that do not have FIV because it was very contagious and spread via saliva. BUT he can live alone or with other cats with FIV. We would keep Chunky because he is honestly amazing - so loving, sweet, vocal, uses the litter box, loves cuddles, etc. - but we have 3 other cats and 4 would be too much.

Additional adoption info

There is an adoption application used as a pre-screening tool (available on paws4you.org/application), references are required and house visits are made by volunteers. We request a donation with every adoption which includes sterilization, microchip & registration, current vaccinations and a heartworm/ehrlichia test. The adoption donation covers the boarding and medical expenses incurred on all rescues, not just one.

More about this rescue

PAWS4you Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit, volunteer 501(c)3 animal rescue organization based in Miami, Florida. Our top priority is to save animals from euthanasia at Miami-Dade Animal Services. An average of one hundred animals are destroyed every day at this county shelter! Rescued animals vary from being sick, injured, homeless and surrendered to simply lost. We give these animals a safe environment, professional medical care, hope and lots of love. Our animals are sterilized, vaccinated and ID micro-chipped. Some require major surgery from a specialist to repair broken limbs while others may need additional rehabilitation time and specific medical care - ranging from bordetella (kennel cough) and skin infections to cherry eye and heartworm treatments. Once Paws 4 You Rescue commits to helping an animal, we seek the best quality treatment available - taking no shortcuts. Our dogs stay at veterinary clinics, boarding facilities and foster homes until they find their forever families.
