My story

Tux is a character. He's small and lean (about 8 pounds compared to his brother Teddy at 12 pounds), but he's quick and agile and he likes to play. Tux will whack his brother Teddy on the head, arm wrestle him for a bit, and then lick and groom his brother in affection. Tux is naturally curious and likes to watch what is going on. That could be you, or especially birds and squirrels outside. He especially likes a chipmunk that visits the front porch. He will play by himself with coils and anything that moves like a snake is fascinating. If you're sitting down, he might come join you, stretch out completely and then nap for an hour. Like his brother, he's a foodie ... he will eat anything (including your food). At night, he usually curls up and sleeps in the kitty condo, but sometimes he likes beds and couches and chairs. He's adaptable. Tux is closely bonded with his brother Teddy. They follow each other around, play hide and seek, under and over furniture, and you usually find them in the same room. They are social and friendly and they like people. They are two really nice cats who are sweet, entertaining and fun and they would make great companions.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Tux, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
