If Tigger’s foster parent had to sum him up in one sentence, she’d say that he is such a sweet, gentle, loving soul, hidden under a hard candy coating of timidness and fear. Tigger has had a rough go of life recently and has made it very clear to CHS staff that he is not the shelter’s biggest fan. After finding his foster home, we now know that once he builds trust in a person and in his quiet surroundings, he is keen on showing you how loving and fun he can be! He is described as being incredibly quirky and he loves teaching his people new things about him every day. For example, his fur is super soft and thick, so once he starts asking for pets, you won’t want to stop. But be warned! He is picky about how and where you pet him.
Tigger is still coming around and gaining confidence in his foster home, so there are many things we have yet to learn about him. He needs a calm, quiet family who will go at his pace to build a solid foundation of trust and to bring out his goofy side again. He needs a slow, gentle approach, and even then, he has his boundaries. With that being said, he is getting more and more comfortable greeting his foster family with purrs, rubbing against their legs and laying on his foster mom’s lap as she reads! Overall, Tigger is an absolute lovebug who just needs a bit of time to feel safe enough to prove it. If you’d like to set up a meeting with this handsome fellow, please email the Adoptions team right away!
