Figgy is a friendly, orange male tabby with a bob-tail.  He was found as an abandoned kitten, in rough shape, and a kind rescuer took him in and got him medical care.  Unfortunately, he lost part of his tail but that doesn't stop Figgy.  You may have seen Figgy at the Rockaway Mall, but that environment was too stressful for him.  He is currently being fostered and his foster family loves to watch his tail wag as he prepares to pounce on his toys.  Figgy is very friendly and loving but he is still a young cat who likes to play hard and get up to some mischief.  He is an energetic, adventurous explorer who loves to zoom around with his toys and climb.  He loves to play with his human friends as well, but he can sometimes get overstimulated and play a little rough.  He may jump on your arm and start using it as a kick toy and needs to be distracted with another toy.  His foster family feels this type of play is decreasing as he is settling into a home environment.  As a result, he would not be a good candidate for a home with very young children at this time, but would have fun with slightly older children who understand cat boundaries.

 

Figgy loves to sleep on laps or next to you with his body touching you.  He really enjoys being kissed on the top of his head but he does not appreciate belly rubs.  He considers that an invitation to play with your arm.  Figgy is currently fostered in one room but would love to find a home where he can eventually explore the entire house and spend more time with his forever family.  He has been around other cats and a dog but it is not recommended he be around other male cats, especially unneutered males.
