My personality

My story

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

Tiger came to the shelter on September 22, 2024 by a lady who told us he was a stray. It was noted that Tiger had a tipped ear (meaning he had been trapped fixed and release at some point in time. This was no feral cat who only
wanted to be petted and purred constantly even though he was very ill. Tiger was very sick with severe eye and generalized infection. Tiger went to the doctor and was given 3 different medications. Tiger improved with the medication and car he received and was taken back to the vet for a recheck.
It was then that the veterinarians noted that Tiger had undergone a specialized surgery at sometime during his life which is usually done on male cats who have an issue with bladder stones. Without knowing Tiger’s history it is believed he had a Perineal urethrostomy (PU) which is a surgical procedure that can
help male cats with recurrent bladder stones by widening their urethra and reducing the risk of future blockages .
Tiger has made a remarkable recovery and is now enjoying life at the shelter, getting all the attention he deserves, Playing with toys including stuffed mice, balls, wand toys and springs. He enjoys watching the birds out the window, will come when called and jump on your lap for attention and loves being brushed
and he looks like he is smiling while being brushed around his head ad face.
Tiger will need to be on a special diet and we are anticipating no other problems. He had an x-ray to be sure he does not have any bladder stones and is current on his rabies vaccination.
Tiger does not like dogs nor is he fond of the other cats in the room. He will do best in a home where he will be the only animal to get all the attention. We are unsure of his age and are estimating 4-5 years old.
Whoever had this cat must of loved him to spend thousands of dollars on the surgery. We don’t know how he ended up on the streets but he deserves a home of his own.
