Notes from Safe House Animal Rescue League

Chip is about 9 1/2 years old as of September, 2026. His life was about to end, when we rescued him, and several others, from local euthanasia. We are so glad that we were able to do that; this boy has a lot of life left in him and so deserves love and happiness FOREVER. He is full of energy and very playful, talkative too. He loves other cats and causes no issues with the others in rescue; in fact, he takes some swats at times with no response. He's neutered, vaccinated and has had a dental and is now ready to bring joy and happiness to the perfect family. He will need some time in segregation to adjust and he can swat a little when scared so best around older children who can respect his boundaries as he learns to trust. It won't take long; he's all about pets and snuggles and sitting in laps! Adopt Chip today. www.safehousepets.org
