Tippy is the kind of cat who will quickly bond with you and follow you around the house like a little dog.

She’s a 10-year-old, domestic, medium-haired cat with an absolutely gorgeous tortoiseshell coat and stunning profile. Tippy exemplifies all the characteristics of a refined feline – she’s graceful, polite, never too demanding and sometimes a little fickle.  She loves to be brushed and needs it, too!  Her coat is thick and will require weekly brushing. 

Tippy is very affectionate and warms up quickly.  She may be a little shy when you first bring her home, but she will soon be rubbing up against your leg and exploring the room.

Tippy loves attention so much that she would be happiest in a home without other animals or children under 12.  As a senior cat, she would be a great companion for an older person or couple or for younger cat-lovers without little kids.  Tippy doesn’t have crazy kitten-energy anymore, but she will chase invisible critters around the house for your entertainment; she’s a performance artist at heart!

The adoption fee for Tippy, and all adult cats at the Wisconsin Humane Society is waived, so if you are interested in this stunning cat, check her out at www.wihumane.org or call 414-ANIMALS.
