Story
My friends at Wayside say:-I am shy at first, but sweet once you get to know me-I enjoy quietly observing the world and the occasional naps in a lap-I am part of Wayside`s TABBY programMy home preferences:-Children 6+-Recommend no dogs-I would prefer a quiet home that will allow me to warm up at my own paceHello, nice to meet you! My name is Macaroni Toni, though friends call me Toni. I’ve seen quite a lot of the world in my 1 year and 1 month of life. My path first crossed with Wayside in July, when I came in as a community cat to receive basic vet care. Once that was done, I was returned to my outdoor colony, and they assumed that would be the last of it! I had a dedicated caretaker who looked after my friends and I. Because of their dedication, they noticed when I began to develop an eye infection. It was pretty bad- I could barely see, and my eyes hurt a lot. They reached back out to Wayside to try and get me help, and before I knew it, I was back!The staff here put me on some medicine to help with my eyes, and I’m told I’ve been a very good patient with getting my eye medication! It’s not always my favorite, but I accept it because I know it will make me feel better. And boy, has it! I can see again, and my eyes don’t burn and ache anymore! I still have a bit of trouble making out some details due to scarring over my eyes, but I don’t let it hinder me- it just means I might take longer to figure out what I’m looking at. I’ve been in foster with a great foster dad while my eyes heal, and boy was that a good life! He spoiled me with lots of attention and let me sit in his lap while we watch TV. I can still be shy, and I have my safe spaces where I like to hang out, but a nice, quiet home makes sure I can really be myself and feel secure.I’ve had quite the adventure so far! Now that I know the luxurious home life, I can’t imagine going back to the streets. I’m ready to find my permanent home. I’m not too picky- all I ask is a family who will give me a little time and space to warm up, and who will love me unconditionally for years to come. Could that be you?Love, Toni
