Adoption information
About Chico
Chico is a playful young kitten with a love for climbing, exploring, and turning everyday objects into exciting adventures. Whether he's chasing toys or scaling the cat tree, this curious little guy is always ready to play.
Chico is still learning that people can be trusted. He's made lovely progress in foster care and now happily plays with his foster carer, often choosing to sit nearby when he's relaxing in the room. At the moment, though, play is the only way Chico feels comfortable interacting with people, and he's not ready for pats just yet. He'll need a patient family who will let him settle in at his own pace and celebrate the little wins along the way.
Helping a shy cat build confidence is an incredibly rewarding experience. There's something truly special about watching them become a little braver each day, knowing that every milestone has been earned through patience, love, and trust.
Chico would absolutely love to be adopted with his brother, Fernando, who is also available for adoption. Fernando is a confident, affectionate little smooch who helps Chico feel safe and encourages him to be brave and build on his confidence. Alternatively, Chico will need a home with a confident, friendly resident cat who can help show him the ropes.
If you're looking for a playful kitten and understand that trust takes time, Chico is ready to find a family who'll love him for exactly who he is and enjoy watching his confidence grow.
Medical notes
Anxiety Relief: Chico has been on Gabapentin to help him adjust to his new indoor environment. He is expected to wean off this treatment as he becomes more comfortable and settled, under veterinary guidance.
Adoption details
All animals adopted through Out of the Woods Rescue are desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea/worm treated and health-checked. We aim to match each animal with a home that suits their needs and personality.
Here’s how our adoption process works:
Submit an application – This helps us get to know you, your household and what you're looking for in a pet.
Phone chat – If your application looks like a potential fit, one of our team members will contact you for a casual phone conversation to answer questions and discuss the animal in more detail.
Meet and greet – You’ll meet the animal in their foster home or another agreed location. If everyone agrees it’s a good match, we can proceed to adoption.
Adoption paperwork and payment – Our adoption fees cover desexing, microchipping, vaccination and parasite treatment.
Once adopted, the animal becomes part of your family. We're still here for post-adoption support if you ever need any help.
We’re committed to ethical adoptions and reserve the right to decline applications if we feel the match isn’t in the best interest of the animal.
