About Fig

Meet Fig, the tiniest and cutest little gal, also known as Princess Fig! At 8 years old and about 8 lbs, Fig is on the lookout for a special home where she can truly shine. She prefers a quiet environment with a single person or a couple, and no exposure to children. Fig would love to live with other pets that are open to sharing their humans' affection, and she can be a little nervous at first, often needing some time to bond before she truly becomes your ride or die companion. An athletic, playful, and cuddly little lady, Fig is house trained, although she might have the occasional ‘nervous tinkle’. It's important to note she should not have access to small animals like chickens, as she has a history with them. She dreams of cozy evenings curled up in your arms, sharing kisses and snuggling the night away. If you think you can offer this lovely soul the safe and loving home she deserves for her golden years, please apply and let her feel the love she craves!
