My story

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

Meet Pipkin – Mr. Friendly Himself!

Pipkin is a certified people-cat with one very clear request in life: uppies, please. And if you miss his polite cues, don’t worry—he’ll gently hug your leg as a reminder that it’s time to scoop him up. Once he’s in your arms, you’re rewarded with the loudest, happiest purr imaginable. Being carried is truly his love language.

This sweet boy is playful, curious, and always interested in what’s going on around him. Pipkin thrives on connection and is a total social butterfly—he does wonderfully with kids, other cats, and even dogs. He’s confident, friendly, and the kind of cat who makes himself right at home wherever the people (and fun) are.

If you’re looking for a cat who wants to be involved in your day, loves affection, and will happily demand cuddles in the most endearing way possible, Pipkin is your guy. He’s not just a cat—he’s a hug waiting to happen.

Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. 

This kitten is currently in a foster home. To meet this kitten, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. www.thedancingcat.org/adopt
