My story

    Meet Chikwitin Say it with us: Chik-wi-tin. It's a big name for a big cat — and trust us, this boy delivers on every bit of it. This handsome two-year-old brown tabby is bursting with personality, packed with love, and ready to fill your home with warmth, laughter, and a whole lot of cat. Chikwitin is the kind of cat that makes you forget you're a cat person — because he acts just like a dog. He'll hear the door open and come running to greet you, tail up and ready to welcome you home. He'll follow you from room to room, plant himself at your feet, and settle into your lap like he was always meant to be there. Because honestly? He probably was. This big, beautiful boy is friendly, playful, and endlessly affectionate. He loves being wherever you are — doesn't matter if you're working, watching TV, cooking dinner, or just existing. Chikwitin simply wants to be part of it. He's the kind of companion that makes a house feel like a home the moment he walks through the door. Chikwitin holds a special place in our hearts here at Fancy Cat Rescue — he was the longest-residing cat in the shelter before we stepped in to give him a second chance. How a cat this loving, this fun, and this magnificent waited so long is beyond us. But his time is now, and he is so ready. If you're looking for a big boy with an even bigger heart — one who will love you loudly, loyally, and completely — Chikwitin is your guy. ✨ He's already saved you a spot on the couch.   Adoption fee includes: first 2 FVRCP vaccines, deworming, flea preventatives, sterilized, microchip Adoption fee: $200.00   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have. The adoption policies and applications can be found at the following links: https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-cat and https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-dog. Email us at  adoption@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued cats. Email us at dogadoptions@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued dogs. See our calendar of adoption events at https://fancycats.org/(scroll towards bottom) You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please visit: https://fancycats.org/volunteerApril 6, 2026, 7:00 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Chikwitin, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
