*SAFE* 05/21/15- A volunteer writes: Tiger is a senior citizen male who also had a home. Tiger is laid back. When a hand is extended to him, he will lovingly rub his face against it. He also enjoys a good petting, and having his ears scratched. Tiger also has a wonderful purr. Why not be the one to give Tiger a second chance at forever home happiness?
