My story

Hi, my name is Tinker! I was rescued by Heartland from CACC last September. I was dealing with some medical issues, but Heartland found me wonderful foster homes where I was able to relax and get stronger. I’m a laid-back and chill senior kitty. All I wish for is a soft lap to lay on, a window to watch the birdies, lots of gentle scritches, a few catnip toys, and oodles of treats! Foster mom says I should tell you more about myself … The bestest about me: ~ I’m super even-tempered ~ I love to be near you or hang out on your lap ~ I won’t wake you in the morning, even though I’m hungry ~ I’m not a fussy eater, though I do like variety ~ I don’t beg at the table. I may stare at you until you decide to ‘do the right thing’ and offer me a taste. While I’m not all that fond of people food, I do love rotisserie chicken, string cheese and Cheetos! ~ I’m super smart - I know how to find treats in my snuffle mat and puzzle mouse The sTinker in me: ~ I will steal your spot if you get up, then whine when you ask me to move ~ I can be rather talkative if I’m ready for my breakfast or dinner ~ Because I really really really like treats, foster mom has to keep them put away or in screw top containers ~ I dislike going in my carrier, and will be quite vocal about it. (But, I don’t fight when it’s time.) ~ My cuteness and gentle spirit will make your heart explode! Sorry, not sorry! Do you think we’d be the purrfect match? Reach out to cats@heartlandanimalshelter.org to set up a meet and greet at my foster home.  Tinker is neutered, up-to-date on FVRCP and rabies vaccinations, and FIV/FeLV negative.

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