Little Ziggy looks like a storm cloud with his long brownish gray fur. Recently trapped outside all by himself in the midst of a brutal cold spell, he is young, very sweet, and looking for just the right person to teach him that the world is a trustworthy place full of good things like sunbeams, catnip mice, bowls of food, and warm laps to sit on. He has not experienced much of this in his short lifetime. Will the sun come out tomorrow for little Ziggy? To adopt Ziggy, call the Forgotten Felines adoption line at 860-669-1347 or apply online at www.forgottenfelinesct.org.
