About Higgins

Higgins is a senior gentleman with one white whisker and a wealth of opinions. He’s seen it all and has no patience for nonsense. If he could chat, he’d have anecdotes about walking to school uphill both ways and how things just aren’t done right anymore. While he may come off as grumpy, Higgins truly hopes for a good nap, a routine, and respect from those around him. He has renal disease and thrives on a prescription diet, which he takes quite seriously. Despite being vision impaired, Higgins still enjoys his explorations around the house. He isn't here to prance around like a kitten or entertain antics; his role is to judge, nap like a pro, and assert his boundaries with quiet authority. For those who appreciate a senior cat with a distinct character and a touch of dry humor, Higgins could be the ideal companion. Just remember, respect the lawn! Ready to fall in love?
