Introducing Tigger……….
Tigger
Tigger is a beautiful, friendly, tortoiseshell and white cat who finds herself in the middle of a mid-life crisis. She needs to find a new home and owner. Her present owner, who loves her very much, is no longer able to provide a cat-friendly home for her.
Tigger is very sweet; she’s placid and easy-going; she loves people (and cuddles) and would like to meet someone new to share her life. She would love to find a home with access to a garden for day-time strolls, summer sunbathing, and night-time adventures.
Can you help her find a new home? She will bring her own bowl and bed, but would be more than delighted if, from time to time, she could borrow a lap to snuggle up in.
Tigger is 12 years old, and in return for board and lodgings, she offers unbounded love, a plentiful supply of purrs, and some contented companionship.
