My story

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

Meet Tux

**Tux's adoption fee has been generously sponsored, take him home for no fee today!**

Tux is a handsome senior tuxedo boy with a quiet soul and a heart that’s learning to trust. He’s the kind of cat who believes in slow mornings, soft voices, and taking life one careful step at a time.

New people can make Tux a bit nervous, so he’s looking for a patient, understanding home where things move at a calm, steady pace. He may not be the cat who runs up to greet you right away—but give him time, and you’ll be rewarded with a loyal companion who truly appreciates your kindness. Tux loves other cats and would love a furry companion.

Tux is FIV+, which simply means he has a weaker immune system and should live indoors, but it doesn’t stop him from enjoying a happy, comfortable life. With regular care and lots of love, FIV+ cats like Tux can live just as long as other cats.

If you’re someone who believes the best relationships are built on trust, patience, and gentle moments, Tux may be the perfect match for you. He’s ready for a peaceful forever home where he can finally relax and be himself.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We ask potential adopters to fill out a matchmaker form. When they are ready to adopt an animal and the form and interview process indicates a good match, we have the adopter sign an adoption contract promising that the animal will receive good physical and emotional care. Fees vary and we often have adoption specials. Fees for senior pets are sponsored. Otherwise, dogs are $100, puppies $150 and up, cats are $75, kittens are $95.
