About Lip

Lip came to us with his siblings after their mother was tragically hit by a car. At just 8 weeks old, he showed signs of being a bit wary, but he has blossomed into a truly affectionate cat. While he may be shy around strangers, he becomes extremely loving once he adjusts. Lip needs a calm home where he can take his time to feel safe. Sudden noises can startle him, but for someone who offers patience, he will become a cuddly companion who enjoys belly rubs and curling up in your lap. While Lip can be adopted on his own, there’s a reduction in the adoption fee if you choose to bring him home with one of his brothers, Carl or Liam. It's important for Lip to find a home without children or other pets, ensuring a peaceful environment. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and fully litter trained. Due to a history of urinary tract issues, he will need to eat only wet food for the rest of his life—a simple dietary change that has kept him healthy. Lip just needs a loving home to thrive!
