Happy holidays Time Out readers! I'm Chapis, and as you can see I've got on my festive red collar just in time for Christmas. This year, I'm asking Santa for a very special gift... a loving family and a cosy home to call my own. Also, I am totally willing to give you a big sloppy kiss under the mistletoe.

I've been living here for a year now, but I can't stay with my foster mum forever. I mean, she obviously loves me, but she has other pets too; and her landlord is always giving her crap about rescuing too many fluffs and feeding all the stray cats. I'm all safe and sound for now with my little friend here; we snuggle and play and it's truly grand, but I really want to find a forever home.

While you're dreaming of a white Christmas here in Shanghai, I'll be wishing for a family, holiday treats, a ton of leftover wrapping paper to play in... ahhh, holiday hope. 'Tis a magical gift. But you can give me a better one, and I'll just love you SO MUCH. I won't even chew on the Christmas tree, promise!

If you want to adopt me, please contact my foster mum at WeChat ID brownie9. To learn about more of my many Shanghai friends that need homes, the wonderful humans at Spare Leash always know some animals looking for help, and you can even become one of their pet sitters. Really, they're awesome. So are People for Pets, you can hit them up too.
