My story

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

Ziggy is a 2-year old 10-pound brown tabby boy.



Ziggy is a smart and playful boy who loves to entertain himself and seek out playtime with his favorite humans. Initially, Ziggy might be a bit shy, but he has proven to warm up quickly to his people, their friends, and family.



Ziggy truly wants to be your shadow! He do well in a home where he can be an involved part of daily life, curling up nearby as you work or relax and receiving pets and love when he nudges you for affections. 



Ziggy is also highly motivated by food and has shown success with clicker training in the past - This is something a potential adopter could absolutely continue if they are interested, but largely demonstrates that he is a smart and coachable cat! He also has demonstrated knowing his name and running to his foster when she calls for him, when its time for food, or when she comes home from work.



Come meet Ziggy and see if he's the perfect addition to your family! He is so ready for a forever home full of love!



Ziggy gets along with other cats and is ok with dogs, given the right introductions and temperament. 



Vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies. FeLV / FIV negative, neutered, and microchipped.



To apply for Ziggy, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the animal is on our website, they are still available.



Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable cat, or final size of any of our adoptable kittens. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the cat into our rescue.
