My story

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

* In foster care. 'Meet & Greet' appointments are available 7 days a week. Submit an online application and an adoption counselor will call you to confirm an appointment. *

Binks is a one-of-a-kind boy — playful, affectionate, endlessly curious, and always ready to “help” with whatever you’re doing!

This chatty house panther sweetheart came to us as an owner surrender and immediately won hearts with his happy-go-lucky personality. After a short detour through ringworm treatment (which he handled like a champ), Binks made it clear that life is all about playtime, love, and attention.

He’s smart and social, always wanting to be where the action is — whether that’s chasing toys, “helping” with cleaning, or making biscuits while you work. Volunteers lovingly call him Mr. Velcro Kitty because he wants to be part of everything you’re doing. He’ll perch nearby, follow you around, or climb right into your lap (or onto your back!) to make sure you know he’s there.

Binks is fascinated by water, loves interactive play — especially wand toys and catch — and makes sure you never feel alone with his cheerful chatter. He’s full of energy but also full of love, the perfect mix of busybody and snuggle buddy.

If you’re looking for a cat who brings laughter, affection, and non-stop personality into your home, Binks is your guy.

Additional adoption info

We offer "Meet & Greets" by appointment. To schedule an appointment to meet our cats/kittens please go to peterzippifund.org and submit the online adoption application form. A link is located on the right-hand side of our Home Page. Once received, an Adoption Counselor will contact you within 72 hours or less to book your appointment.

Adoption Fee: $125.00

Our adoption fee generally covers everything your new feline friend needs to start their journey with you:

*Spaying or Neutering: Ensuring the well-being of our cats and controlling the pet population.
*Microchipping: A permanent identification method to keep your furry friend safe.
*Vaccinations: Up-to-date vaccines tailored to the specific needs of each cat.
*Fecal Testing and Deworming: A comprehensive approach to intestinal health.
*Viral Testing (FeLV/FIV): Conducted on all adults and most kittens based on their origin.
*Comprehensive Blood Work: For many of our adult cats, ensuring their overall current health.

In addition to all standard treatments outlined above, many of our cats and kittens have received costly treatment for other maladies that result from abandonment or starting life on the streets.

Of course, if you would like to make a larger donation to help cover our care for the homeless cats, we would be delighted. All donations over the adoption fee are tax deductible.

Why Choose Peter Zippi?

At Peter Zippi Memorial Fund, we're not just about adoptions; we're about creating lifelong connections between our feline friends and loving families. Our Adoption Counselors are dedicated to making your adoption experience joyful and memorable.

*We often offer hard-to-place and special needs cats.*

At Peter Zippi, we believe that kittens under 5 months of age thrive best with a feline companion. To ensure their happiness and healthy development, we adopt kittens in pairs or to homes with an age-appropriate resident cat. Growing up with another cat helps kittens learn social skills, provides essential companionship, and encourages active play. We appreciate your understanding and support in giving our kittens the best start in life!

Thank you for considering adopting from Peter Zippi Memorial Fund, where every cat's journey to a forever home begins with support from the community.
