Ziggy is a resilient, sweet-natured boy who’s ready for a fresh start. He was brought to a rural shelter as a stray and likely had to fend for himself for a while — which may explain why he’s food motivated and appreciates every meal. When Ziggy first arrived, he seemed sensitive about being touched on his head. During his neuter appointment, the vet discovered and safely removed several old BB pellets from his head and jaw.

Despite everything he’s been through, Ziggy’s is a lovable, sweet boy. After just a few days in his foster home, he began coming up for pets and now happily leans in for cuddles and lap time. His big, steady purr kicks in, and it’s clear how much he loves affection. He just needs a couple of days to acclimate in a new environment — and then his sweet personality shines.

Ziggy would do best in a calm, patient home where he can continue to feel secure. In return, he’ll give you loyalty, cuddles, and enthusiastic appreciation when it's dinner time!
