About Zipper

Zipper made his entrance sprinting through a parking garage in Hempstead until John Debacker stepped in and brought him to safety. He quickly showed just how friendly he can be, always ready to greet people and ask for attention. Affection comes naturally to him, and he enjoys spending time by your side or winding around your legs. With his distinctive tiger-striped tabby coat broken by bright white patches and his short, easy-care fur, Zipper is striking and easy to care for. At just over two years old, he’s social and already gets along with other cats. Little things catch his eye, and he follows people from room to room with energy that feels lively but never frantic. Zipper brings a mix of fun and companionship to any home. Fun fact: Zipper is a Pisces, known to be especially gentle and adaptable. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
