About Chorizo

Chorizo is a calm, quiet sweetheart who has excellent house manners and is currently in foster. We think she is about 5 years old. She free-roams during the day, sleeps loose at night, and rides great in the car. She gets along wonderfully with other animals and is overall an easy, peaceful presence in the home. Though very shy, Chorizo absolutely loves to be near her person. She’ll follow you everywhere like a little shadow, even if she’s still building up the confidence to always accept petting. She prefers to eat alone but otherwise does well with other pets and continues to improve as she gains confidence. Chorizo is incredibly cuddly once she’s settled — she rarely makes a peep and loves curling up for long naps. Her foster notes that sometimes she just needs a gentle nudge to join you on the bed, but once she’s there, she’s all tail wags, snuggles, and will sleep happily at your side all night.

Ideal Home

Chorizo would thrive in a calm home, ideally with someone who is home often and enjoys having a constant companion. She doesn’t need much activity — just a soft place to nap and someone patient who will let her warm up at her own pace.

Ongoing Health

All OTAT-WTX rescues are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on core vaccines.

Training & Support

Chorizo is very shy and may need time to gain confidence and accept petting. She prefers to eat alone.
