Story
We adopted Tigger when he was 8 weeks old. He will be 7 years old in January 2026. He is a big boy weighing in at 21 lbs. He Has been raised with dogs. He knows the commands sit and wait. He will greet you at the door when you come home. Good with everyone but really loves men. Looking for a home where he can get more activity be it with the family or other pets. Our dogs are older and not as playful as they once were.

Story
I found Turkey Boy on 11/28/2025 in my dads backyard. He immediately warmed up to me and has been a sweetheart ever since. He was attacked by something during his time outside, and his wound was examined, clipped and cleaned by a vet and is now fully healed. He is neutered and was checked for a microchip, he does not have one, and he has been reported as found on multiple sites and with multiple agencies but no one has claimed him. I got him vaccinated on 12/2/2025, tested for SNAP FeLV/FIV/HW for which all came back negative, he was given a dewormer as well as a flea/tick treatment and currently has a clean bill of health. The vets estimated him to be around 3 years old based on his dental health. I have other cats and dogs in my home and although they are separated from him, I do not think he is a fan of other animals. He is definitely fearful of any animals in his vicinity. He is extremely people oriented and super affectionate and deserves a loving home.
