Story
Meet Ziggi!
Ziggi came to the rescue after being rescued from the outside with 14 other cats. An elderly woman with dementia was going into assisted living and all of the cats she cared for needed to be placed into a rescue or homes.
When Ziggi came to us he was a little over a month old and incredibly shy. He was very attached to his mom, to the point he refused to socialized. After she was adopted and they were separated, Ziggi really started warming up to his foster parents.
On a day to day basis, you’ll find Ziggi zooming all over your house. He’s an extremely confident young man when it comes to his own activity, and being around other animals.
When Ziggi first meets new people, he is very scared. He doesn’t do well around strangers and as a result is a poor candidate for a very social meet and greet. If you are interested in adopting Ziggi we recommend you setting up a FaceTime call with his foster mom to see his true self and how happy, energetic, and fun loving he is. After this call of course you can meet Ziggi but the expectation is he won’t initially want to interact. He’d likely need to be placed into his new environment and develop a bond with you (which doesn’t take long if you have treats and love to offer).
Anywhere you find Ziggi, you’ll find toys. Especially that of the crinkly and spring like nature. Ziggi LOVES to fetch! He’ll chase his toys all around, then bring them to you and expect you to toss them for him.
This young man also is clinically obsessed with food. The second you put his meal down he’s there for it. Got treats? If you need Ziggi to come to you, shake a treat bag and he will be there pacing and scanning for his upcoming snack!
When it comes to his people, Ziggi loves love. He particularly likes his foster dad who he follows all around the house, the bathroom is not even safe. If you’re around, Ziggi is sure to follow.
In his foster home, Ziggi has been socialized with other cats, dogs, rabbits, and small critters. He lives to play with other cats, he is sure to rub his head on a passing dog, and he tries to bring his bunny friends his toys to play with.
With Ziggi being a socially anxious character, we don’t recommend he be placed in a home with children roughly 8 and under. If you have kids, he will do fine with them as long as they understand how to respect his space and body. It took his foster family a while for them to be able to hold Ziggi and him stay happy and comfortable in the process. Something like a kid grabbing, lifting, or pulling would certainly be a fright for him and if it was a repeated behavior he would not be able to expand socially in his home.
The last precious thing we have to mention about Ziggi is his itty bitty little meow. He mews around the house all the time while playing and following his people.
