Companion Corner: Chino at No Paws Left Behind
By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — There is a sweet and fluffy girl at No Paws Left Behind waiting for her new family.
iBerkshire's Companion Corner is a weekly series spotlighting an animal in our local shelters that is ready to find a home.
Chino, short for cappuccino, was brought to the shelter about a month ago. She is three years old and medium-haired.
Kennel assistant Claire Morin introduced us to her.
"She came here because they just decided they didn't want a cat anymore. Since she's been here, she's been super friendly and has no issues with anything at all. She's medically up to date, and she is ready to go."
Chino is quite tame and interested in being held and shows her belly to those around her.
She can go to a home with other animals and with any age.
"Chino's so easygoing; she gets along with everyone. So she's free to go home with children. She's free to go home with pets. She's been around cats and dogs, and she would be very easy to go into any home."
Chino likes to play with you as well as likes to explore her surroundings and lounge in the cat tree.
"She's so easygoing; she loves this cat tree that we have here. She's very curious, looks all around when we let her out. She loves treats, and there really isn't anything that we can't say that she doesn't like."
Chino will be a great addition to any family who wants her and will play with her.
"I just think she'd be a perfect addition to any home because she's just so easygoing and so friendly."
That was the list of grievances that current and former tenants of the North Adams Housing Authority's high rise laid before the City Council on Tuesday.
