Check Out Chet for Your New Pet

This gray tabby is available for adoption from the Dearborn Animal Shelter.

Chet's a great kitty. Playful, charming, affectionate, handsome–find it all with this long-haired, gray mackerel-stripped tabby. He's 12 weeks old and looking for somewhere to grow up–could it be your home?

To learn more about Chet, view his Petfinder profile here.

The adoption fee for a young cat such as Chet is currently $55. Adoption fees include a basic medical exam, behavior assessment, age-appropriate vaccinations, parasite and worm check, spay or neuter, microchip ID, travel box, cat comforter and cat care information. An optional, but recommended, combination feline AIDS and feline leukemia test (for cats 12 weeks and older) is an additional $20.
