About Tipper

Meet Tipper! This handsome orange and white long-haired boy is about a year old. He’s missing an eye and a leg, but that hasn’t held him back. Tipper can be a little shy and takes time to warm up, but once he feels safe, he loves to be right next to you. A true snugglebug, he enjoys curling up with his people and soaking in all the love he can get. Tipper needs a patient home where he can take things at his own pace and build his confidence. With some gentle attention and a cozy spot to relax, you'll see just how sweet this special boy can be. Meet-and-greet or adoption appointments are highly recommended to ensure Tipper is at the shelter for you to meet. Please reach out via phone or email to set up a visit! Remember, cats often thrive with companionship, so consider adopting a buddy along with Tipper! His adoption fee is $75, which includes vaccinations, spaying, and microchipping. Please ensure he has a carrier when leaving the shelter, as we're located on a busy street. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
