Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tigger Skeets is a roly poly, 18-pound, 13-year-old, male front-declawed Van Pattern cat with one blue eye and one gold eye looking for a loving guardian.
Tigger was found inside a Calumet City trailer when his 65-year-old human mom passed away. He was living with another cat and a rabbit. The other cat has recently found a wonderful new home, and sadly, the rabbit had already died when his mom went into the hospital and no one was caring for her pets.
When I brought Tigger home, the poor guy was in mourning for his mom. He just laid in a litter box howling sadly for three days without eating or drinking. Luckily he bounced back after that.
Tigger has adjusted to living with my other cats, but he could just as happily be the one and only cat in your life. He really doesn’t like my dogs at all. And, I think he’s just fine with rabbits.
Tigger loves people so much that he rubs up against you and follows you around lovingly chatting the whole time. When you love on him, he rolls on his back for a tummy rub. He can only take so much tummy rubbing so you have to watch out for a little nip.
Tigger uses his litter box perfectly like a good boy. Due to his roly-poly-ness, he certainly doesn’t get up on your countertops. But, he does enjoy joining you in bed for snuggling if he has some pet steps to help him climb.
Tigger is a healthy senior, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped, virus-tested and he even had blood-work and a urinalysis done. His adoption fee of $50 benefits rescued pets. He is currently living with me in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. To meet and possibly adopt Tigger, please contact me at sheri@petraits.com or 773-777-2891l
