What my friends at ACC say about me:I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets.Tuxe tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents. Due to the behavior shown, he may not be a great fit for young children. Any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor this cat around their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced.Please check here for updated adoption hours.A volunteer writes: This stretchy little guy is Tuxe. He's been getting to meet lots of staff and volunteers at the Care Center, but he's the type of kitty who likes to blend in, preferring to have a tight knit group of friends rather than be the life of the party. Tuxe may not rush to the front to greet new people, but when I bring a squeeze up treat, it's a totally different story. I love to watch Tuxe become an unflappable little kitty in pursuit of snacks. He'll stretch his front paws down from the top level of his duplex and adorably use those little paws to pull the treats closer. After our most recent snack time, Tuxe leaned into pets and neck scritches. Nuzzling my hand and looking for more treats, Tuxe makes friends in his own way. He really wants to trust people, but can sometimes be a little unsure about how to make the friends he seeks. Tuxe has lived with other cats and is looking for a family where he can settle down to love and be loved! Primary Color: Gray Weight: 9.9 Age: 5yrs 1mths 1wks
If you have any questions or would like to adopt Tuxe, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
