Here's what the humans have to say about me:
TigyTig was born with an esophageal issue He has been seen at WSU and with several diagnostics done. It was determined he has a rare condition called Esophagitis is the term applied to inflammation of the esophagus -- the muscular tube that carries food down from the mouth cavity to the stomach. Gastrointestinal reflux, or acid reflux, is the most common cause of esophagitis in cats. Acid reflux is the result of stomach acids passing into the esophageal canal, causing irritation to the tissue lining of the esophagus.
He requires mainly soft food blended into a slurry and fed small amounts throughout the day. We have tried a special diet with him restricting it to a specific protein with no dry kibble. We are slowly introducing other food and some small dry kibble which he is tolerating so far. This will be a life-long condition for him.
If you ask Tigy how he is feeling? He would say AWESOME!! He loves food and can get quite creative to get into other cats food. He gets along with other cats but cannot be allowed to free-feed like most cats can. He is very affectionate and playful. He can be quite comical in his antics and love for life.
If you are interested in learning more about TigyTig, please call the rescue at (208) 448-0699. Leave a message for our foster, Craig, to contact you. Tigy is currently in foster care so is available by appointment only.

More about this rescue
We are dog and cat lovers who want to help decrease the number of healthy pets being euthanized. We do this through adopting pets to caring homes and by spaying and neutering every pet before it is adopted out. We operate a Thrift store named Critters, which is volunteer run with all money brought goes to support our "No Kill" rescue. Critters is located on the same property as our shelter. We take in homeless animals because they are in need and are unable to help themselves.
