Chuck is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

Chuck hides.

Chuck is a 2-1/2-year-old, 13-pound, male, Domestic Short Hair cat with a Black and White coat.

He was a stray in Riverside County. He was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS).

When he arrived, Chuck spent much of his time hiding in his enclosure.

Once he figured out that the medical team had treats, Chuck became friendly. He gives head butts for attention and likes when people pick him up.

The $100 adoption fee for Chuck includes medical exam, neuter, up to date vaccinations, and registered microchip.
