Meet Cheeks - Our Big-Cheeked Sweetheart!

Cheeks is a handsome 2-year-old male Domestic Shorthair with striking tabby markings and the most adorable chubby cheeks you've ever seen-hence his perfect name! This charming guy arrived with a facial injury and is currently rocking the "cone of shame" while his laceration heals, but he isn't letting that slow him down one bit.

Cheeks is incredibly social and has quickly become a staff favorite. He greets everyone with enthusiasm, leans in for pets, and shows off his outgoing, affectionate personality every chance he gets. Whether he's asking for attention or soaking up love, Cheeks makes it impossible not to smile.

If you're looking for a friendly, lovable companion who's full of character, Cheeks is ready to steal your heart-and maybe your lap!

This pet is available for adoption at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
