Today, we are celebrating with Archibald, now known as Cheetah Moon, who was adopted in March 2025! 😸
Earlier this year, Cheetah Moon’s family celebrated a very special milestone—his third trip around the sun and his first birthday with them! 🎉
Before we go any further, his mom has one important clarification to make: despite the multiple daily debates between her and her daughter over whose kitty he is, we wanted to clarify for the record... Mom is his mommy! 😂
We are thrilled to report that Cheetah Moon is happy and living his absolute best life with his beloved partner, Sparkle. His favorite hobbies include Sparkle, Sparkle, and—of course—more Sparkle. When he’s not busy tending to her, he can usually be found perched high atop his cat tower, carefully observing Sparkle from above.
Cheetah Moon also enjoys chirping back and forth with the birds outside the front door and windows. His family recently got him an indoor toy bird, which has provided hours of entertainment—not just for him, but for everyone in the house!
He shares a particularly sweet bond with his human sister, often snuggling with her and keeping her company while she gets ready for school each morning. In fact, she recently gave a show-and-tell presentation about her cats, adoption, and the power of love—a beautiful testament to the impact Cheetah Moon has had on her life.
His mom says he has become "such a little butterball" and simply cannot imagine life without him. Watching his transformation has been incredible. So many people who knew him before have witnessed his journey and are amazed by how far he has come.
Stories like Cheetah Moon’s remind us why rescue matters. With patience, care, and love, he has blossomed into a happy, healthy, deeply loved family member—and we couldn't be more grateful for this wonderful update. 💚🐾
