Pet of the Week: Tiger the Tabby

Tiger is a two-year-old cat with a darling face and an even better temperament.  Many people feel they need a kitten, but adult cats are often a better choice.  Cats can live as old as 20. So, adult cats have many years left. Even better, adopting an adult cat teaches children about saving an animal in need.

Tiger is a good example of a great adult cat. He is litter box-trained and affectionate. Like all cats, he will need a proper introduction to other cats living in the home, but he will be fine once he gets used to them. He also can adapt to a cat-friendly dog and might even play with him over time.

NOTES FROM TIGER'S FOSTER HOME:

Tiger is healthy (and very handsome, look at that face!). He has been neutered, microchipped, flea treated, dewormed and is current on vaccines. Your adoption donation goes toward the cost of this vet care as well as transportation and general care costs.

Tiger is an awesome cat, and he only needs about 10 seconds to show you how awesome he is. He will put his head forward and bow for pets and then rub his face on your hands and beg for more more more. He is a young and curious guy with a heart of gold — and he will melt yours quickly.

Notes about adopting: All potential adopters fill out an application, are interviewed and have the opportunity to visit the animals. Fees depend on the veterinarian care that has been given. All adopters get 30 days of free pet insurance. Motley Zoo is always looking for foster homes. Fostering is a great way to "test out" your family to see if you are ready for a permanent pet.
