Here’s another adoptable pet of the week from the Brooklyn Animal Rescource Coalition (BARC) shelter in Williamsburg.

Chachi is a male, one-year-old. The bio on his cage at BARC says:

He was surrendered by his owner. He was so distressed he cut himself on his cage and proceeded to scratch the wound until he bled. Fortunately it looks worse than it is. Once Chachi’s in a warm, loving home his cutting behavior should disappear.

Miss Heather, who provide the pics of Chachi observes: “This is an incredibly friendly cat. He is acclimatized to getting a lot of human contact (which is probably why he took so badly to shelter life initially). When I opened up the cage Chachi started hamming it up for the camera. Being young, he is also very playful. I caught him after he took a healthy swipe at the toy hanging at the top of his cage.” Get over to BARC and snag this cutie for yourself while he’s still there.
