Meet Chehalis! Nobody knows exactly where Chehalis came from, but the world clearly had plans for this little tabby. Found wandering on his own, Chehalis has traded the uncertainty of the streets for the warmth of human attention. And he’s been slowly discovering just how good life can be.

At two years old, Chehalis is right in that sweet spot between kitten chaos and a settled adult. He is curious, playful, and full of personality. Give him a sunny windowsill to watch the world from or a new paper bag to investigate, and his eyes go wide with wonder. He loves to explore every corner of a room, sniff out new smells, and bat at anything that dares to dangle.

Since he is brand new at the cat center, Chehalis is still learning to trust. New people, new sounds, and new environments take some getting used to. Gentle, patient adopters who understand that trust is earned, not demanded, will find that Chehalis is an incredibly devoted companion.

His past is a mystery. His future is wide open. Could it be with you?

Chehalis is microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccinations, neutered, and litter box trained. Chehalis’ adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting him, please fill out our Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.
