Tigger - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Murphysboro, Illinois

The most wonderful thing about Tigger? He’s the only one!

Looking at him now, you’d never guess how fragile this now bouncy kitten was! Tigger came to us on death’s doorstep. In fact, he was crossing the threshold. His body temperature was dangerously low, he full of parasites and covered in fleas. The most shocking thing about him was his eye, though.

His left eye was protruding from its socket and ultimately ruptured. We knew he needed to have his eye removed, but couldn’t go forward with surgery until he was stronger. We gave him medical care, time, and love, and something amazing happened- his eye began to heal on its own!

After several weeks working closely with our vet, we watched with shock and awe as his body healed itself. His eye has somehow healed shut, and while it doesn’t have function, it doesn’t cause him any pain. He’s been given the all clear from his doctor, and Tigger’s eye is now his signature feature!

We were beyond thrilled to watch his personality unfold as he felt better and better. Now, Tigger is ready for his forever home!

Tigger is a bouncy, happy, goofy orange and white kitten, with personality for days! He loves playing with the other cats and the dogs in his foster home, exploring the world and keeping everyone entertained. His playful kitten energy is no match for the dynamite snuggles this guy gives. He wants to curl right up on your chest, and purr his little heart out. Fully litter box trained, fully vetted, and full of life, Tigger wants to know if you could be the one he’s been waiting for!

Tigger’s adoption fee includes his neuter, microchip, vaccines, deworming, FeLV/FIV test, and flea/heartworm/intestinal parasite prevention. Reach out to us today if you’re interested in our unique, striped little guy!
