Complete An Adoption Application

HELLO EVERYONE! I am Tigger...well perhaps not THE Tigger, but Tigger nonetheless!

I came to King Street Cats just before the 2019 New Year from one of the wonderful shelter partners...they knew I had a couple medical issues but, they just couldn’t say no.

Do you know I have my own theme song!

“The wonderful thing about Tiggers

Is Tiggers are wonderful chaps

They're loaded with vim and with vigor

And love to leap in your laps”

I do very much love to be in a lap, and being pet, I love that too.  I am getting ahead of myself, let me go back to the beginning. 

I am about four years-old and quite handsome if you don’t mind me saying so. My family brought me to the shelter because I was having problems and I was very afraid of the dog in the house. So the nice people at the shelter had their vet take a look at me. They said I had very severe dental disease and a mass in my mouth. The shelter staff knew I needed extra care and lucky me, King Street Cats said they would help!

Welllllll...we found out in addition to the things wrong with my mouth I had some big stones in my bladder.  Things got worse and I ended up at the emergency hospital. I felt awful and it was so scary...there were dogs! They said I needed surgery right away. So, all at once they took the stones out of my bladder, removed a large mass of fur stuck in my stomach, pulled three teeth and excised the mass from my mouth...they also gave me a feeding tube because they knew I wouldn’t feel like eating for quite a while.

I was in a foster home for a bit but got better really fast. I didn’t mind the feeding tube so much...foster mom held me in her lap while she fed me and I really liked that. She says she doesn’t think I stopped purring while I was at her house. I even told her stories about everything that led me here.

Oh I forgot to mention, I also have something wrong with my eyes called anisocoria; it means my pupils are different sizes. While it looks kind of odd, it doesn’t affect my vision at all, it just makes me a little sensitive to bright lights.

I like other mellow cats and love people but can’t be with dogs. I do need special food to keep me from having troubles again, but other than that I am in great shape now!

Well, that’s my story so far, thanks for listening. I know it won’t be long before I find my furever family and could it be with you!

Happily yours,

Tigger

“Tiggers are wonderful fellahs

Tiggers are awfully sweet”
