Pippin is curious, fun-loving, energetic, and loves to explore and play. He is also very social and craves attention. If he doesn’t receive enough, he’ll climb onto someone’s leg or shoulder until he’s noticed. He loves to run around and play with his siblings, so he’d love a home with another cat – or even being adopted one or both of his brothers. To meet Pippin, visit ForgetMeNotRescue.com/adoptables.
