Story
Meet Cheerio, a completely adorable little bear… with absolutely no tail! This goofy, affectionate boy is the perfect mix of playful kitten and professional snuggler. He’ll bounce right over to say hello, sniff your shoes, and then promptly recruit you for a play session. Once the fun is over, he’s happy to climb into your lap, curl up, and snooze.
Cheerio has the classic kitten routine down to an art: enormous bursts of ridiculous play followed by cuddles and a well-earned nap. He LOVES his moving ball toy and will happily sprint after it for hours. Wand toys and anything he can bat around with his paws are also big hits. He is constantly rolling, bouncing, and finding new ways to entertain himself, and his antics are guaranteed to keep you laughing.
And then there’s that adorable little bottom! Cheerio is completely tailless, giving him an irresistibly cute, bear-like appearance. He is also wonderfully easy to handle and loves being picked up, petted, and snuggled.
Cheerio has a mild special need related to being tailless. He sometimes needs a little help staying regular, so he takes a simple stool-softening medication twice a day. He uses his litter box well and has been doing better with his medication, though he may occasionally leave a small “surprise” if he doesn’t quite finish. He’ll need routine vet checkups and continued medication as needed, but otherwise he is a happy, active kitten with no current concerns.
Cheerio would be incredibly happy to find a home with his brother, Coco Puff or with another playful kitten. Coco Puff and Cheerio are the best of friends and make an absolutely fantastic pair, keeping each other entertained and then inevitably collapsing into a pile of kitten cuddles.
If you’re looking for a kitten who will make you laugh, keep you entertained, and then happily melt into your lap, Cheerio is your guy. This tailless little goofball is pretty hard not to love! ❤️

Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
