About Viggo

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Viggo isn’t just a pretty face (though with that fluffy tail and handsome looks, he definitely turns heads) he’s a cat with a big personality who’s looking for the right match. Curious, playful, and full of energy, Viggo loves wand toys, tunnels, and any game where he can leap out from hiding or chase after something that “disappears.” He’s smart too, and his foster has started working on training with him. This spirited boy likes to be wherever you are, often perched on his cat tree or supervising from the kitchen table. Viggo enjoys attention, but on his own terms—he’s not much of a snuggler, and he can get a little mouthy during playtime (hands and feet included!). Because he’s so spirited, Viggo will do best with an adopter who has experience with cats and can offer plenty of interactive play and structured routines. If you’re looking for a gorgeous, fun, and lively companion who will keep you entertained, Viggo might be the perfect fit for you! All cats adopted are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated, and microchipped before joining their new homes. Viggo is currently living in a loving foster home and visits can be arranged after an adoption application is received. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
