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:

Chesca may be the smallest, but don’t let her size fool you, she’s a scrappy little sister with a heart
full of love and spunk. While she can be timid at times, she plays just as hard as her siblings and
never backs down from a good wrestling match. She loves watching birds and bugs through the
window and snuggles up with her family for cozy nap times. Chesca is ready to be adopted into her
forever home. One that will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
