DOB 5/31/25
Hey there, everyone! I’m Cheeto, an adorable and petite red tuxedo-tabby Manx mix gal, which means that I have a half-inch stubby tail and four white mittens and vest. What’s funny is that my stub looks like a Cheeto sprouting where my tail should be! My favorite part of the day is interactive playtime when Foster Meowmy waves the wand toy over my head or snakes it around the room for me to chase. During my solitary moments, I enjoy watching “kitty TV” by basking in a patch of sunshine on the windowsill while I observe the birds fly by outside.
I was about seven weeks old with no momma or siblings in sight when Foster Meowmy noticed me hiding under someone’s car in her apartment complex. I was terrified and thought that all hoomans were scary monsters like the rest of the outdoor stray animals I’d been fending off. I figured that the best defense was a good offense, so when she first took me home, I played the nonaggressive but tough little cookie who growled whenever I felt threatened. At least my foster home had no dogs, kids, or other adults, so the quiet peace suited me to a “T.”
Now that I’ve adjusted to life indoors, I’m slowly learning that it feels good when Foster Meowmy scratches my cheeks, chin, and ears. Who knows, but right now it looks like sacrificing my independence may be worth those luxurious, tranquilizing pets. Perhaps, with time and patience, my melting into the safety of her arms is on the horizon.
Also to my delight, Foster Meowmy had previously rescued another orphaned red-and-white tabby fella named Cheets, who is just two weeks older than I am. Gosh! We look so much alike that you would think we are siblings except Cheets is noticeably larger than I am. We have a blast tumbling and pouncing, climbing and wrestling with each other, and when we’re exhausted, we collapse in a kitten puddle. After a slow introduction, I also now enjoy playing with the three resident cats.
Now I’m ready to bring my stubby-tailed cuteness and tough-chick aura to my new family. I would do best with patient hoomans who allow me to acclimate to my new “digs” at my own pace. Could that be you? Although we’re available separately, Cheets and I think it’d be the cat’s meow if we were adopted together so we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation. Arrange to meet me today!
