American Bobtail kittens & cats in Smyrna, Delaware

Meet ZigZag the American Bobtail LAP CAT! Don't let his shy first impression fool you... When ZigZag first arrived at Forgotten Cats, he preferred the safety of his cozy bed and rarely ventured out of his cage. He seemed unsure of the world around him, quietly watching everything from his little hideaway. Then came picture day. Imagine the photographer's surprise when she met ZigZag again in the free-roaming room! She sat down on the floor to photograph the cats, and within moments ZigZag climbed right into her lap and made himself completely at home. In fact, he refused to move! The photographer ended up taking pictures of all the other cats while cuddling ZigZag the entire time. It turns out this sweet boy wasn't shy at all—he just needed to feel safe before showing his true colors. Today, ZigZag is one of the most lovable cats at the adoption center. If you have a lap, he'll happily fill it. He adores attention, enjoys cuddling, and is happiest when he's close to his favorite people. If you're looking for a cat who will be your constant companion, your TV buddy, your reading partner, or your work-from-home supervisor, Zig Zag is ready for the job. Whether you choose to adopt or foster, you'll quickly discover what everyone at the center already knows... ZigZag is a world-class lap cat just waiting for someone to call his own.  ZigZag is FIV+.  FIV+ cats can live and play with FIV- cats.  Please check out the quick facts sheet. ZigZag is waiting for YOUR lap in our Brandywine PetSmart adoption center.  Please stop in and ask for him!
