Meet Tux-The Toy Thieving Comedian in a sleek Black Suit

Tux, just over a year old, is one of those cats who’ll have you laughing daily without even trying. With his shiny black coat and big personality, he’s equal parts sleek and silly. His favorite game? Stealing whatever toy you’re playing with and turning it into a full on tug-of-war showdown. (Spoiler: he usually wins.)

He’s not big on cuddling or sitting in laps, but Tux does enjoy affection and is always happy to lean in for a good round of pets. When he’s in play mode, he’s a total goofball, leaping, pouncing, and cracking you up with his antics.

Tux also has a natural hunter’s drive and would probably thrive in a home where he can exercise those instincts (or chase the occasional fly for sport). He’s curious, clever, and full of charm.

He has some food sensitivities and is thriving on Purina One Sensitive Skin and Stomach food; we recommend keeping him on a sensitive stomach diet to keep his at his best! Tux is great with other cats and should be able to adapt to a cat-friendly dog (we can test him for you if you like).

If you’re looking for a smart, independent cat with a hilarious streak and a heart full of low key sweetness, Tux is your guy.

All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Tux is a suggested minimum of $50 (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts.

Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!
