Happily Homed: Chippy (Chopin)

We have an #adoptionupdate from Carolina who adopted Chopin (now Chippy) in August 2024. Carolina wasn’t looking for any particular type of cat. When they were at the CCS, they were told Chippy was super shy but he came right up and was friendly, so they knew he was meant to be theirs!

“Chippy was brought into a very large family and initially was very quiet (like when we found him at CCS), but it didn’t take long for his confidence and comfortability to grow! He loves to window watch, take naps and climb on high surfaces and even though he is still quieter than most cats he is much more vocal now!

“Chippy has adapted well to his dog sibling Casey and they love napping together. He loves baskets and bags, string toys and making biscuits and loaves everywhere!”

Have you adopted from CCS in the past? We’d love to hear how it’s going! Send us your adoption success stories (and photos!) to be featured in our #adoptionupdate series on social media or on our website.
