Adopt Me: Tigger Adds Bounce To Your Life

Each week we feature pets available for adoption from C.A.R.E. at Evanston's Animal Shelter.

"T-I-double 'guh'-errrrr, that spells Tigger!"

And indeed, this chatty, loving, affectionate orange tabby currently staying at C.A.R.E. will bounce right into your heart. Tigger likes to climb under your pant leg to nuzzle against your leg! And even though he's not a youngster, Tigger love to play and will pounce for feather wands and fuzzy mice.

Like his namesake, Tigger's an inquisitive fellow. He likes to investigate and has been known to try to sneak out the door, so you'll need to be careful to keep him safe. Tigger came to the shelter when his elderly owner could no longer care for him. Tigger says, "Please come meet me and let's start the next chapter of our lives together."
