Story
Meet Checkers, an absolutely adorable little tortie girl with a heart as beautiful as her coat. We estimate her date of birth to be June 6, 2026. She was rescued from a porch in Southern Tennessee along with her siblings, and this precious little girl has been growing, blossoming, and showing her true personality ever since. And quietly capturing hearts. Checkers is one of two tortoiseshell girls in her litter, and when I first looked at her beautiful coat, I immediately thought of a checkerboard. Her coloring seems to have a little bit of everything — black, orange, cream, brown, and all the wonderful shades in between. Her coat is a patchwork of colors and patterns, with no two squares quite alike, that seem to change every week as she grows. She is truly a one-of-a-kind work of art. But as beautiful as her coat is, it is Checker’s personality that will win you over. There is not much tortitude here! She is one of the sweetest tortoiseshell kittens I have ever had the pleasure of fostering. While her siblings may be the first to dash across the room, Checkers is often the last one out the door. When mealtime arrives, she is a perfect little lady. She doesn’t push and shove her way to the front of the line. She patiently lets her siblings go ahead. Last to the food bowl, but often the first to purr! And that says so much about this little girl. You can see the sweetness in her eyes. She has a gentle, tender nature that makes you want to scoop her up, hold her close, and shower her with hugs and kisses. She has a way of making you feel like you’ve just made the best move on the board. Checkers loves chasing and wrestling with her siblings and is always ready for a little kitten fun. But one of the things I especially love about her is she can entertain herself beautifully, too. You might find her tossing a furry little ball up into the air, chasing it down, and doing it all over again. Or perhaps she’ll settle in with the three-tier tower of plastic balls, batting them around and keeping them moving. And when the game is over? She’ll be ready to curl up and purr. Checkers is a little girl who seems to have decided that life is better when it’s filled with playtime, purrs, gentle affection, and plenty of love. She’s proof that sometimes the sweetest surprises come in the most colorful packages. She has already won the game! She has won the heart of her foster mom, and now she’s ready to find the person or family whose heart she can win forever. Contact CCR about bringing this beautiful little tortie into your life.
