Chippy is a super duper sweet senior guy who has a sad back story. He spent his life well-loved and cared for, but his elderly owner passed away a couple months ago. Chippy, orphaned and tied up with his former owner's estate, stressed himself terribly while all alone in his apartment. We are so thankful that his owner's estate conservator came by regularly to feed, walk, and love on him during this terribly lonely time, then reached out to us for help. Once Chippy was cleared to go to the shelter, we scooped him up as soon as possible. He's now in a wonderfully loving foster home where he's receiving lots of TLC. He had a comprehensive senior check-up done and is getting bloodwork and a thorough dental cleaning while he's with us. The stress of losing his owner was so hard for Chippy that he lost about half his fur while waiting in "estate limbo". We've got him on salmon-everything in hopes that his omegas will bounce back and his fur will regrow! Chippy is so meek, mild, and mellow. He just wants a quiet companion who will take care of him til the end. He may have many years left, who knows! If you've got a soft spot for a sweet senior guy who's been through a tough time, please consider Chippy. He's waiting for your application!
