Rehome | From One Loving Family to Another

It's Chonk! A Big Orange Cat looking for a good quiet home :)

Love Garfield? Here he is in the fur. Chonk had a loving dedicated home, here's the short story...

Our lives changed last July as my Mother-in-law started to have signs of dementia and then had a major stroke. She was completely living on her own taking care of Chonk when overnight everything changed. Since then she has been in and out of rehab and is now under Hospice care. We recently sold her home and the caretaker who was taking care of Chonk is leaving town.

So we're looking for a good loving home for Chonk to live his best life! Ideally he would enjoy company in a quiet home with no other pets. He's a bit of a scaredy pants, but once you feed him and he establishes safety, he's your best friend and mega huge purrinh cuddler for life.
