About Hoggle

Meet Hoggle, a gentle and shy baby boy who's eager to find his forever home. Rescued alongside his siblings, Junk Lady and The Worm, Hoggle stands out as the biggest but remains the most timid of the trio. He has big, soulful eyes and enjoys hiding in his cat scratcher or beneath a coffee table, observing from his safe spots. Hoggle's soft personality shines through when he's tempted with a chaser toy, leading him to play joyfully when he feels safe. He craves gentle attention and will sweetly rub against your hand, offering soft purrs. Dinner time is a highlight for him, and he thrives with a calm and slow approach from new people. With some time and encouragement, especially from a fellow cat, he’ll learn to trust and be himself. Hoggle would thrive best in a home that can adopt him with one or both of his siblings. Could you be the one to give him the chance he deserves?
