In the shelter’s words
TIGRILLO HAS A BROKEN HEART and by that, we mean he has a grade 4 heart murmur. At 7 years old, Tigrillo has a ticker that isn't working quite right, and unfortunately, we don't have a crystal ball to tell us what that means for his future. It might be his normal, and he could have another 10 years ahead of him. Or his condition could progress, and we might have far less time. We wish we knew. We really do. But here's the good news. If his condition progresses, our vet says daily medication may help manage it and give him the longest, best life possible. And those medications aren't expensive. And then there's the other thing you should know about Tigrillo - his ticker might be defective, but his capacity to love is not. This boy is a GRADE FIVE PURR kind of guy. He's got soft fur, movie-star looks, tiny little mews, slow blinkies, and a serious appreciation for lap time. He's an enthusiastic snacker who loves both crunchies and wet food, and he'll happily engage you in a game with his favorite wand toy when he's not busy being lovable. He gets along with other cats who respect his personal space (apparently, that feeling is mutual). But when it's time for human affection? Sorry, folks. This lap is reserved. Tigrillo doesn't believe in splitting that love with other cats, and frankly, we respect his undivided commitment. We haven't seen him with dogs or children yet, so we can't speak to how he'd do with them. Here's the thing about adopting a cat like Tigrillo. We can't promise you how many years you'll have together. But we can promise that a heart murmur ' . Tigrillo is seven years of handsome, affectionate, purring perfection, and he's still got so much love to give. He's not looking for forever to be guaranteed. He's just hoping for someone to share it with. Do you have enough love in your heart for Tigrillo? Filling an application is the first step to meet him - www.RochesterRASCALS.org/cats
