My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tipper was brought in as a stray and is only about a year old. He is missing the tips of his ears, possibly due to frostbite last winter. Too bad he wasn't rescued sooner, but in Tipper's case it actually gives him some charm and swag - like it's hip to be tipped! In spite of a rough start, he's a sweet guy who turns into a "purr machine" when he's being petted. He likes to explore his environment, take cat naps and then seek out one of his foster humans for some attention - he loves having his chin scratched and his ears massaged. Tipper is often off exploring his environment and he loves chasing after the laser light.

While not exactly a lap cat, Tipper has a pretty even balance of independence and need for TLC, and we think he would enjoy the position of "top cat in the house", so if you are only looking for one cat, this might be the boy for you. However, he'll likely do okay with another energetic and outgoing feline at home who could use a companion. We also tested him with a dog and his reaction was "So?"... thus we think he'd do just fine with a dog in the house.

Tipper's adoption fee of $115 includes: exam, distemper combo vaccination, FIV & Feline Leukemia testing (neg), rabies vaccination, routine deworming, flea control, microchip and neuter.
