Tux is a dashing gentleman with golden eyes, dramatic polydactyl paws, and big canine teeth that give him a hint of a fangy smile. His left foot boasts seven toes, his right has six—making him a total standout both in looks and in charm. Originally rescued as part of a TNR effort (note the ear tip!), it didn’t take long for his independent rescuer to realize Tux had too much potential to remain outdoors. Since joining us in February 2025, he’s made steady progress from being a cautious newcomer to a curious, engaged member of the community room. While still a bit reserved with new people, Tux warms up with gentle, consistent interaction. He enjoys pets and brushing, and while he doesn’t purr during just yet, it’s obvious he’s enjoying the affection. Tux will often greet familiar faces with the cutest chirps—especially when dinner is on its way. He’s not a fan of being leaned over, hugged, or picked up, but he’s an excellent communicator and shows his boundaries clearly and gently. Tux is playful in his own quirky way—he’s now a big fan of wand toys, especially when he can launch stealth attacks from inside a cat tunnel. Ping pong balls and toy mice are still fair game too, and his oversized paws make him an all-star at solo play. He’s shown himself to be adaptable with other cats, often adjusting to new feline roommates within a week. Tux doesn’t seek drama—when he’s overwhelmed, he simply finds a high perch to regroup. With slow introductions, he definitely has the capacity for a feline friendship. Tux is looking for a home that understands the value of patience and low-pressure companionship. In return, you’ll get a uniquely handsome cat with a quiet presence, a growing confidence, and plenty of personality. * Available in Shelter for Meet & Greet *July 5, 2025, 12:39 pm
