My story

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

Teeny tiny Tikal would like you to know that 1) he is a very considerate housemate, 2) he loves to cuddle, 3) holding him will not strain your muscles, 4) he doesn’t eat much, and 5) yes, that is his real hair color. Now that all of your questions have been answered, come meet your new best friend! He’s waiting patiently.

Here's some notes from his foster:

Tikal is such a cute little muffin, and his little snores make him even cuter when he sleeps. He's a little wobbly and isn't one for old school walks, but he enjoys his version -- in a carrier carried by you! He also can easily get to the places he wants to go in our house or yard with incredible determination, even if it means walking over a box when he doesn't think of just going around it.

He takes long, luxurious naps and loves poking around the yard. After exploring, he often finds the perfect sunny spot to take another nap for his personal camping adventure. He completely ignores our cat and peacefully cohabitates with our dog. He even went to a holiday brunch where he toddled around the yard and got along with everyone - including puppies and toddlers. Eventually he was content to sit in a carrying tote in my lap where he could sneak in a little cat nap.

He is a champion eater, enjoys sleeping in the bed (but needs protection so he doesn't fall off the bed), and likes snoozing in your lap in the car. He can go up to 8 hours without a potty break, though he sometimes will need one after 3-4 hours.

Additional adoption info

All of our senior mutts are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and given flea/tick/dewormer medication. Regular adoptions are typically $250, and there is no adoption fee for senior adopters and Hospice adoptions, though we love donations to help pay it forward for the next mutt!
