About Chappy

Hi, my name is Chappy. I know that it's kind of an odd name, but I got it because my mom's husband's name was Chapman, so she kind of named me after him. In any case, I am a 14.12-oz, 7-8 year old male neutered tabby and white Domestic Shorthair with claws. What a mouthful! I've been here at the Safe Place for Pets Welcome Center in Manitou Springs Colorado for a day or so now. I came with my brother Onyx after our mom died last week. It's kind of strange because we were with her for seven years. She didn't really adopt us; we adopted her. She was a great mom and we both loved her. We're indoor/outdoor cats, but we always came in at night for cuddles and to sleep with her. No one was quite sure what would happen to us after Mom died because there was really no place for us to go. But a really good friend of hers decided that we just had to go to good homes, and when she did a search on rescue organizations she found Safe Place for Pets. She even went so far as to pay all our vet bills. He is a friend indeed. I call Onyx my brother because we lived together, but to be honest we weren't that close. He's super outgoing, and I'm more reserved. Don't get me wrong; I like to be petted and scratched as much as any other cat, and I do enjoy playing. I spent the night with the Safe Place for Pets volunteer, and she gave me a catnip mouse to play with. I had a grand time! But I'm more of a quiet guy. I really kind of think that I would like a forever home where I could be the only pet. Then I could have my peace but still get the petting and loving that I crave. I may be a bit slow to warm up, but if you give me a little time I promise that I can be a really loving pal. If you'd like to meet me and see if we might suit each other - and I really hope we would! - you can call Safe Place at (719) 359-0201 or email them at [email protected] to make an appointment to come by and see me. I'll be waiting!
