DOB 5/31/25
Hey there, everyone! I’m Cheeto, an adorable, affectionate, and petite red tuxedo-tabby Amercian Bobtail 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! I love to be the center of Foster Meowmy’s attention, so I happily cuddle with her and purr contentedly while she gently gives me head massages.
I’m the first of the kitties to jump on Foster Meowmy's bed to wake her up in the morning, and I continue throughout the day looking for moments when I can grab her attention for her to scratch my cheeks, chin, and ears. I'm
always very curious to sample her food, and I’ve discovered that Cheerios and Goldfish are better treats than Temptations! My favorite part of the day is interactive playtime when Foster Meowmy waves the wand toy over my head for me to claw or bounces around the red laser dot for me to chase.
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. Now that I’ve learned that I can trust her, Foster Meowmy is so impressed with the way I have opened up to spending quality time with her.
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 chasing and playing with the three resident cats.
Now I’m ready to bring my stubby-tailed cuteness and attention-grabbing demands to my new family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today!
