Cheetah is now around eight or nine years old. He's turned into a friendly boy, though he can still be scared if startled. He is quite fond of treats, as Brigid demonstrates:
He's also got a good friend in Foxy, so even in his less brave moments he doesn't have to worry about being lonely.

I am so happy to find this boy on the website as I often think of him .I adopted his brother and sister and named them Abby and Simon. I have always wondered if Cheetah had been adopted. He wasn't named at the time I took Abby and Simon. I really wanted to take him too. It wasn't that he was shy that I didn't, it was because I already had two cats before adopting his siblings. I still have Abby and Simon and love then to pieces. My two other loves Gemifer and Pippie have since passed away after I moved back to Winnipeg from Vancouver. I have since rescued three cats and now have five in an apartment that allows three (ssshh don't tell anyone). So I am at the number five anyways. I love Cheetah's squinty eyes. Simon's are not quite as squinty but his nickname is squeenkie. Abby is Abby Bo Babby in full.Whenever I want to feel an overwhelming love I look at this website. I was heartbroken to learn Emmy had died but happy to see Birdie is doing well. I miss the shelter and the cats and being with other people that love them as much as I do. If I ever make it back to Vancouver the shelter is number one on my list of places to go.
