Handsome young Tigger recently came to us as a stray, so we don’t have any history for him. Aged to be around 1 year old, Tigger is incredibly sweet and absolutely loves attention. Super social and confident, Tigger is very playful and so fun to watch. He is already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. We are confident he will make anyone a lovely companion. If that could be you, apply today! Visit Tigger at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
