About Pippin

Pippin is a distinguished gentleman, currently in foster care and adjusting to a new environment after being surrendered by his previous family. At 13 years old, he requires a gentle touch and patience as he settles into new routines. While he spends most of his time in his crate, he is beginning to explore and show affection, offering head butts and seeking pets on his own terms. As he grows more comfortable, Pippin enjoys snuggling up during TV time, savoring the connection with his foster dad. However, he can be reactive when overstimulated, especially when pets are directed at the base of his tail. Because of this, he would thrive in a home with experienced cat owners who understand his needs and can provide a calm space without other animals or children. Pippin isn’t just a cat; he’s a complex being needing time and space to thrive. If you’re looking for a special companion willing to grow with you, he might just be the right fit.
