About Higgins

Higgins is a senior gentleman with precisely one white whisker, a lifetime's worth of opinions, and zero tolerance for nonsense. He’d undoubtedly tell you to keep off his lawn and remind you that he walked to school uphill in both directions, grumbling about how things just aren't done right these days. While he may seem a bit grumpy—and he's earned that right—behind that crusty facade lies a cat who simply craves good naps, stability, and a touch of respect. Higgins has renal disease and follows a strict prescription diet that he takes very seriously. He may be vision impaired, but that doesn't hinder his explorations. He’s not here to fool around or entertain; rather, Higgins serves as a stern companion who values boundaries. If you find charm in dry humor, appreciate the unique quirks of senior cats, and desire a friend who communicates with a pointed stare, then Higgins could be your perfect match. Just remember: don’t tread on his lawn. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
