SAFE 8/3/17 A volunteer writes: Hello, everyone! My name is Tiger, and despite my name, you’re not going to find me in Asia. Instead, I’m a housecat living right here in Brooklyn! Easy peasy when it comes to meeting me–hint, hint! A few facts about me: I’m an 11-year old gentleman, but I love being picked up like a baby and carried around. I’m okay with baths and being brushed (a guy has to keep up his appearances!), and I play gently with human friends. When I’m not playing, I really like to sit on the window sill and watch the world go by. I also really, really love my human friends. I follow them around the house, and I love getting cheek rubs, and rolling around to show my awesome tummy. Lastly, I give pretty good head butts! So, no need to get on a flight to adopt this tiger–come on down and meet me today!!
VIDEO & NEW PHOTO! 11 year old Tiger was dumped for allergies. Needs a new home asap.

Profile::
07/15/17:
Tiger is an 11 year old brown tabby that was adopted from the ACC around 10 years ago. The owner is surrendering her due to her grandson having allergies to the cats. He has no injuries or health problems that the owner is aware of.
According to the owner, Tiger has not been around strangers and they did not let Tiger near the baby so his behavior is unknown. Tiger plays gently with adults. He has not lived with cats or dogs so his behavior with them is unknown. He has not bitten a person or animal.
Tiger has no known behavioral or litterbox issues according to owners. During the car ride, Tiger cries for a bit and settles down. The owner reports that he is not bothered when given a bath and brushed out. She has not trimmed his nails. He enjoys being picked up and held.
Tiger is described as a baby who enjoys being held and craddled. He has a medium activity level and loves to run around and jump up on the window and watch. He will follow the owner around and be near the owner when she arrives. He was kept indoors only. Tiger was eating Friskies dry food. He is use to an open litterbox with crystals. He was not given a scratching post or pad.
