Hurry!!! Now’s your chance to live with a TCR celebrity! Cheeks has been a huge hit not only in the rescue but on social media. Once you meet this big, mellow dude, you will completely understand. On one of the coldest nights this past winter, Cheeks was caught trying to survive by eating the cat food scraps in his foster mom’s garbage. If that doesn’t scream “I’m a Trash Cat!” then what does?
Cheeks is an older gentleman who has seen some really hard times. If it wasn’t evident by his crinkle ear and scars on his body, you can tell from looking into his sweet, soulfully sad eyes. Thanks to TCR, Cheeks is no longer fighting to survive and appreciates the comforts in life. Cheeks loves laying in a warm, comfy bed or on a cardboard lounger scratcher. He seems to enjoy being down low and crawling into cave-like or fuzzy, warm donut style cat beds. However, he has been spotted in the cubbies of the cat tree a couple of times.
Cheeks enjoys being petted and chin, neck, and butt scratches. He is easy to handle but doesn’t care to be held. Cheeks LOVES wet food! He has even started meowing for it then will look shockingly at his foster mom as if to say “Did I do that?”
This guy is extremely low key and looking for a quiet, calm home where he can lounge, eat, and be treated like the royalty he is. We feel Cheeks would do best in an adult only home, but older, calm, quiet children may be okay. Cheeks gets along with other cats who respect his space but would also be fine with being your one and only.
Cheeks is estimated to be at almost/at least seven years old. He has been neutered, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV+ / FeLV-. He had a dental with TCR and was also treated for FIP (feline infectious peritonitis). Although a reinfection with FIP would be considered rare, we would still recommend that any interested adopters educate themselves on this disease and what signs/symptoms to look out for. If you are looking for a chill guy to hang out with while you watch TV or WFH, apply to adopt Cheeks today!

Additional adoption info
We try to do our best to make sure we find good fitting, responsible homes, without wasting a lot of our time. Our app has a lot of screening questions which help eliminate potential adopters who might not be serious (they usually just don't return the app), or not a good fit, which is why the in depth interview happens once the app is returned.

We are a small but dedicated 501c3 nonprofit cat rescue specializing in making one person's garbage kitten another person's forever cat.
Our mission is to reduce feline suffering and overpopulation using a combination of TNR and adoptions. We foster and socialize whenever we have the resources to do so, including behavioral cats and kittens who might otherwise just be candidates for TNR.
