My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

A Home For Tux.
POV: TUX
Hi, I'm Tux.
That's the oh so "original" name my current foster family gave me.
How creative, right?
Here's the deal: I need a home. A forever home. SOOO tired of this placement and just want to be RID of these people.
Yes, they feed me.
Yes, they play with me.
And yes, they are kind and loving and blah blah blah...
But I want a family of my own.
I am so sweet and love to be doted on, but here's the rub:
ALL of my fellow cat housemates annoy me.
When I was a new kitten, I was scared to death of everything and hissed at whomever came near me. I isolated a lot and didn't really want anyone bugging me. These other furballs I share a house with couldn't understand that and would not leave me be!
Alwyas trying to groom me, and clean me and...forgive the over share...SMELL places they shouldn't!
So, I may have not been so nice and approachable as I could have been but they would not let up! I just needed my space!!
Now? When I want to socialze? All they want to do is eat my food and sit in my tree. No Ma'am! That is off limits! So, Foster mom keeps me separated in my own room.
It's a nice room, with a couch under big window I can sit on and watch the birds and squireels, and there is always soft music playing with plenty of treats, food and water...but it's a room.
I'm lonely.
I want out.
I love people, I just take some time to adjust to change.
I am sure I would love other cats eventually, I just don't like my housemates (although truth be told I'd probably prefer being on only for a bit, as long as I got a ton of attention. )
I do love to play! Lasers and squeek mice and I LOVE to loaf while petted. (I also happen to have the softest fur EVER!! Just saying...)
There has to be someone who will give me a chance?
Someone with patience and an experienced adopter?
If it doesn't work out, I can always come back here.
If anyone wants to meet me please PM my Foster Mom.
She will cry when I leave but she knows it would be for the best! 💜
(I do have an adoption fee but that is just to keep some Coconut from trying to get me! I have all my shots, and fixed and microchipped too. )

More about this rescue

Kittens Of Wekiva is a foster based rescue. Without fosters we cannot continue to help! We are constantly in need of foster homes for placement, so please open your hearts and be a foster! That is the only way we can save more lives. The love and support a foster provides is so rewarding. The joy that comes when one of your foster babies finds their forever home is something that cannot be explained. So come join us and be a part of our team. Fall in love over and over with these fur babies and help us find them homes where they can grow old.
