DESCRIPTION
Checkers and his sisters, Scrabble and Mahjong, were rescued by a kind family in Maryland after their mom was left outside to fend for herself. Wanting the best for this little family, they reached out to 4 Paws for help.
Checkers is a tabby kitten boy with adorable ear tufts, born approximately March 3, 2026. He is a typical playful kitten who loves toys, chasing and wrestling with his siblings, and exploring everything around him. After playtime, Checkers enjoys attention, petting, and curling up with his people for some affection.
Checkers would love to be adopted with one of his siblings or into a home with another playful kitten so he can have a feline friend to grow up with.
Checkers is current on age-appropriate vaccinations, negative for FELV/FIV and will be microchipped prior to adoption. He will need to be neutered when old enough.
*** PLEASE NOTE***
4Paws will only consider local adoptions (Northern VA / DC / MD metropolitan area)

Kittens under 6 months old need to go to a home that already has another active cat of similar

kitten from another 4Paws foster home.
