Rescue:

Cherish and her kittens were discovered living in dire conditions in Mount Forest. A kindhearted
mother and daughter, who regularly feed local strays, noticed the small family emerging from a hole
in the foundation of a rental property that backed onto a busy parking lot. For weeks, Cherish had
been raising her three kittens—Chet, Chelsea, and Chesca—in the damp, moldy crawl space
beneath the building, exposed to harsh weather, noise, and constant danger. When they reached
out for help, it took over 50 hours of patient trapping to safely bring the whole family to rescue.
Cherish was underweight, with ribs showing and bite wounds on either side of her torso but with
proper care, food, and love, they began to heal. Cherish, although protective, showed signs of trust
early on—eating from a hand even when freshly trapped. Over time, her kittens went from fearful
and hiding to playful, affectionate little purr machines. With their bellies full, their fur soft, and their
spirits lifted, Cherish and her babies are now thriving and ready for the next chapter of their journey:
finding loving forever homes.

Personality:

Chelsea is a playful little clown with a ton of personality. Whether she’s sticking her head into a
shoe, sliding across the floor like a goofball, or scaling your back while you clean the floor, she’s
always ready to entertain. She loves human interaction and is endlessly curious, affectionate, and
full of joy. Chelsea is ready to be adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome her into the
family and keep her safely indoors.
