About Dipper

Meet Dipper! He’s one of three brothers, along with Scout and Spotty, who’ve spent months thriving together in foster care in Saint James, MN. Dipper isn’t quite as snuggly as his siblings, but he does love being pet and has recently become more affectionate toward his foster mom. These boys keep busy chasing each other around, playing, and lounging on the screened porch, watching the world outside. Dipper also enjoys their scratching post for both naps and play. He was born in early November, making him a Scorpio—expect a little mystery and resilience. Dipper and his brothers test positive for Feline Leukemia, so he’ll need someone familiar with special care needs—speak with a vet if you have questions about this. Because of his diagnosis, Dipper’s adoption fee is waived for the right home. He’s house trained, gets along well with other cats, dogs, and children, and is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and on flea/tick prevention. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
