My story

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

Higgins is a senior gentleman with exactly one white whisker, a lifetime of opinions, and absolutely no time for nonsense. If he could talk, he’d tell you to stay off his lawn, remind you how he walked to school uphill both ways in the snow, and then grumble about how things just aren’t done properly anymore. He’s a bit grumpy—and he’s earned it. Higgins has seen some things.
Behind the crusty exterior, though, is a cat who simply wants a good nap, routine, and respect. Higgins has renal disease and does well on a prescription diet, which he takes very seriously. He also has dental disease and will need a dental once his kidney values improve—because even grumpy old men deserve to feel their best.
Higgins isn’t here to be a kitten or entertain you with antics. He’s here to judge you, nap like a professional, and remind you that boundaries matter. If you appreciate dry humor, senior cats with character, and a companion who tells it like it is (silently, but pointedly), Higgins may just be your perfect curmudgeon.
Just… don’t touch his lawn.
Higgins is available for foster or pre-adoption. Both would receive medical care from our PACC on-site clinic. Foster must actively market him for adoption. Pre-Adoption means you wish to make him part of the family.
