About Tiger

Tiger is a timid cat who needs a cat-savvy and patient adopter to help him feel secure in his new surroundings. Right now, he tends to hide from people, showing that he’s quite afraid. With gentle handling and a calm environment, he can start to build confidence at his own pace. It’s essential for his new home to understand that he might take some time to reveal his true personality. With steady reassurance and a stress-free atmosphere, Tiger can grow into a more relaxed and affectionate companion. Whenever you're ready, feel free to visit him at our Fairfax County Animal Shelter. Don’t forget to check if he’s at our Michael R. Frey Campus or Lorton Campus—both locations have open hours, so you can come meet him in person!
