My story

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

Tiger: The Passionate Senior Survivor (Ready to Meow Hello!)
Meet Tiger! This handsome, friendly 9-year-old senior sweetheart is ready to greet you the moment you walk into the room with an instant, enthusiastic meow! Tiger is an incredibly passionate and loving cat whose affection is immediate and guaranteed.

A Journey to Health
Tiger lived most of his life outside as a local TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) cat. He was brought into our home when health problems started to emerge, but he has since made a full recovery and is now a super healthy senior kitty! This vocal boy adores new people and will happily take all the attention you are willing to give, showering you with love in return.

Unique Needs, Boundless Love
Due to past dental issues, Tiger has many missing teeth and requires a soft food diet. While he may not have the teeth for a tough snack, he certainly has the heart for love! He does not prefer to be picked up, but he will crawl into your lap and happily spend time nearby. He’s looking for a family who respects his boundaries while enjoying his constant, vocal companionship and endless cuddles.

Social and Accepting
Tiger is a wonderfully social cat who gets along with everyone:

Cats: He is great with other cats, making him a perfect fit for a home with feline friends, or he'd be just as happy as your only companion.

Kids: He is great with kids of all sizes (small and large!), thriving in an affectionate family environment.

Dogs: Due to a past incident, Tiger is wary of dogs. He holds no ill will towards them, but he would need a home where any dogs are calm, respectful, and fully supervised during any shared time.

Birds: He must be supervised with birds as a safety precaution.

Anyone would be lucky to have such a passionate and devoted cat as Tiger. If you can provide soft food and endless head scratches, Tiger will provide you with a lifetime of purrs and welcoming meows!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Adoption events are held regularly in the community at Petco Winchester VA every other Saturday. Additional events are held at area festivals, wineries, breweries, and parks. Approved adopters can schedule a private meet and greet with their chosen pet. Same day adoptions are not done, so please apply in advance of any adoption event to give us time to check vet and personal references and to complete the video home visit.
