Linda Buchanan, Catmandu A very special cat is seeking a home that is as special as he is. Meet Ziggy. Approximately a year old, Ziggy’s life has been one tragedy after another. We hope to change that by finding him the perfect home that will give him the life and love he needs and deserves for the rest of his days. A short-haired tabby boy, Ziggy was discarded as a tiny baby with the rest of his litter in a Starbucks dumpster. Part of the litter was killed by trash thrown on top of them. Finally discovered and rescued, he and his brother went to live with a family where he was very loved. One night the family dog attacked Ziggy. Luckily the owner was able to save him before he was badly hurt or killed. Later the family fell on hard times and contacted Catmandu. We took him in, got him neutered and vaccinated. Ziggy has an extremely mild case of wobbly cat syndrome (cerebellar hypoplasia). He high steps like a show pony and is a little on the clumsy side. Otherwise, he is delightful, sweet and lovable. He gets around fine and has no litter box or other issues. His condition will never worsen and he should have a completely normal lifespan. Despite all that has happened to Ziggy, he is so very sweet. He likes to play, and has an adorable little chirp. We at Catmandu have fallen deeply in love with this wonderful boy. Ziggy seems to be okay with other friendly, mellow cats. He dreams of a quiet, loving and safe home with no dogs and no small children. We would love to see him in a home where he will be the only cat and will be spoiled rotten for the rest of his life. Please visit our website at Catmanducc.org to see a brief video of him being his adorable little self. If you think you might be the perfect home for this special boy, please complete a pre-adoption application on our website at CatmanduCC.org/adoptions and plan to visit him this weekend at Catmandu, 1829 Brown Street. Potential adopters are welcome Friday through Sunday from 11am to 4 pm. Plan to arrive no later than 3 pm so you have plenty of time to spend with him before adoptions close.
