About Biggy

Biggy is a striking black and white cat with a short, soft coat and a small white patch on his chest. Sometimes he wobbles when he runs or jumps, a gentle reminder of an old spinal injury he got as a kitten. The injury can't be fixed by surgery, but the vet was right: with rest and resilience, Biggy has grown into a playful, affectionate adult. You’ll find him batting his favorite toys across the room or curling up for a quiet snuggle after a burst of energy. Despite his special needs—he occasionally wobbles and would do best in a home where he can safely climb—Biggy is fearless about playing and climbing tall cat trees. He especially thrives as a solo cat in a calm, loving environment where he can relax and show his sweet, loyal side. Once he trusts you, there’s no shortage of cuddles or companionable lounging nearby. Ready for a loving, patient human to share his loyalty and affection, Biggy is waiting to brighten your home.
