Tom (about 8 months old as of 10/27/25) is a neutered male brown tabby shorthaired kitten. Tom is a BIG baby with dreams of growing up to be an extra large house tiger! To achieve his goals he's very serious about food, but when he's not busy loading up on calories he also loves attention; he'll give lots of a sweet cuddly hugs if you're strong enough to lift him! He's a playful guy that gets along well with other cats, so we think he'd do best with another kitten playmate or a young sturdy cat that can handle playing with a big beefcake like Tom. He's had limited dog experience but would probably learn to love a really cat experienced dog. We're not sure how he would do with toddlers, but we think he'd be great with most elementary school aged kids.
