This Week's Pet: Cheeky Boy, the Cuddle Bug

This loveable cat was originally found abandoned in his carrier by a kind soul.

His elderly owner left a note explaining that her declining health no longer allowed her to care for “Cheeky Boy”, as she had affectionately named him.

Luckily, his rescuer brought him to PAWS Chicago Adoption Center in Lincoln Park and he was adopted. But seven months later, he is now searching for his forever home again as his adopters have moved to a place where they couldn’t bring him along.

Watch the accompanying video for a glimpse of this sweet kitty in his environment at PAWS.

Cheeky Boy has had to adjust to a lot of changes and he takes them all in stride. But abandoned by two families, he longs to find a family or person that will make the commitment to him for life.

His adopters said he was a cuddle bug that loved affection and attention from all. His adopters absolutely adored Cheeky Boy, and couldn’t say enough good things about his “sweet disposition” and handsome face!

Cheeky Boy bonded quickly with his new friends, and made himself their little shadow around the house. When he is not cuddling, Cheeky Boy likes to amuse himself with feather wands and catnip-filled mice.

He has excellent litter box habits (he prefers uncovered litter boxes) and used his scratching post religiously in the home. Cheeky Boy even gets along well with his fellow FIV+ cats at the PAWS Chicago Adoption Center. From his big green eyes to his little white socks, this gentle kitty is nothing but love.

Will you make a commitment to Cheeky Boy? He will reward you with endless love and affection!
