A little about Chickadee (aka ChiChi):
Calling all lap-cat lovers! Chickadee (aka ChiChi), the snuggliest cat around, is now available for adoption and hoping YOU will be her new best friend.
Coming into the shelter environment can be quite stressful for any animal, having to get used to new people and sudden, strange surroundings. It usually takes a while for them to feel comfortable and bond with new friends - even more so for older animals. This is what we were expecting upon meeting Chickadee, a 7 year old single house cat. But in Chickadee’s case, we couldn’t have been more wrong! From the first moment meeting her, Chickadee wanted nothing but to be held, rev up her strong purr motor, and make biscuits on a shoulder or lap.
Chickadee’s affectionate, gentle personality has been evident since day one. Chickadee was adopted from Winona Area Humane Society at about 2 months old and has returned 7 years later due to no fault of her own. She wasted no time showing everyone her best qualities and quickly became a favorite.
Besides being held for hours at a time, Chickadee also enjoys rolling around for belly rubs, perching in the window, curling up in cat cave beds, and greeting visitors. While she has a healthy dose of curiosity, Chickadee’s not super playful; she’s more about relaxing & resting. Her superb friend-making skills are on display at all times.
Chickadee’s ideal home is one on the calmer side, perhaps with one or two human friends. Although she’s lived around dogs and cats before, she’d be content as an only pet too. When she finds an adopter, she’ll happily show her appreciation every day with the best companionship a person could hope for.
