Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Chef is here to cook up some love!

This incredible boy brings together everything you could want-playful energy, endless affection, and a fearless, friendly personality. He loves being part of the action and will happily greet your guests like they're old friends. When he's not busy playing, Chef is all about the snuggles. He will join you on the couch, at your feet in bed, or curled up in your arms at night.

He does not currently live with other animals or children in his foster home, but his adaptability and loving nature suggest he could thrive in many homes. One thing is certain: anyone lucky enough to adopt Chef is in for a recipe of love.

Chef also has a condition known as atopy, which essentially causes his immune system to be hypersensitive and prone to allergic reactions to food or the environment. Sometimes this will also lead to seasonal allergies for a pet that will need to be treated from time to time as symptoms arise, and sometimes it is year round. Chef's allergies currently require a low dose of steroids once every 48 hours, so his new owners will need to get him established at a vet post-adoption to continue that treatment and care.
