*** Currently residing in a foster home. A meet & greet will be arranged following an approved application. *** Hi there! I’m Chestnut, a one-year-old brown tabby male cat with a heart full of love and a story that’s just as sweet. My journey began when my brave mom, Shiloh, was rescued from a local pizza place by a kind-hearted woman who brought her to Animal Ark. Surprise! Shiloh was expecting kittens—six of us, to be exact. We were lucky to land in a wonderful foster home where we could grow up safe, loved, and well-fed. I was born with moderate cerebellar hypoplasia, a neurological condition that affects my coordination. That means I might wobble a bit or take a tumble now and then—but don’t worry, it doesn’t slow me down! I’m still a playful, affectionate, and curious guy who loves snuggles, toys, and exploring my world. I may need a few small accommodations in my forever home to keep me safe—like soft landing spots and easy access to food and litter—but I promise I’ll fill your life with joy, laughter, and purrs. If you think we might be a perfect match, please submit an adoption application. My foster family would love to introduce us!
