Chi is a 6 year old black and white altered male cat. The owner got him from a vet and has had him for 6 years. The owner is surrendering Chi due to her own declining health. He has no injuries or medical problems that she is aware of.
Around strangers, Chi is friendly and outgoing. He has lived around children of all ages and was reported to be relaxed and affectionate with them. He plays gently with children and adults. Chi has lived with two other cats and was affectionate and relaxed around them. Chi has interacted with dogs in the past and would hiss and run away.
He has no behavioral concerns according to the owner. Chi has no litter box issues as well. Chi is not bothered by getting a bath, trimming the nails, being brushed out, or being picked up and held. Chi does get tense when being placed in a carrier.
Chi is described as a friendly, affectionate, and mellow cat with a medium activity level. He loves to follow his family around and sit on their laps. Chi loves to play with balls, catnip toys, and stuffed toys. He was kept indoors only. He was given dry food only.
