About Fig
Hello! My name is Fig
I do seem to know my name but respond more to 'Figgy'
I am a lovely young man who is now ready to find his forever home where I can be by your side as much as possible and shower you with love (once I'm comfortable).
I came to the shelter quite a timid boy as I was caught as a stray, I've come such a long way in foster. I did unfortunately need to have my eye removed but I think it just makes me all the more cuter!
I'm a very cruisy boy in the household, I'm curious of the dogs and tolerate them well, I love other cats. I am quite a rough player so another young cat in the home would be ideal.
Although I'm super friendly and outgoing most of the time, when I'm unsure I can still be skittish but with a soft call and clicking fingers I'll come back, I tend to get spooked when people approach me too fast standing up.
My only quirk is I do love to dig in my litter tray, for everyone's sanity an enclosed litter box would suit me perfect and saves you the litter flying out of its box!
I love sleeping on the bed with my humans, I don't hide very often unless I get super scared. I won't suit young children as I do enjoy playing with your hands when you rub my belly, I am gentle but can get a little overstimulated.
I love being picked up and slung over your shoulder, followed by being showered with kisses! I'll even give you headbutts on your face.
I will require some time to build trust with my new human but I won't take long!
NEEDS: Indoors only, No children (Under 12), Cat companion, OK with dogs
