About Tiny

Tiny spent much of his early life in a shelter cage, but since landing in foster care, he’s come alive—chasing toys, seeking pets, and soaking up every bit of comfort offered to him. After years waiting for a break, he is genuinely grateful for playtime and gentle attention. Tiny can be a little shy at first, but give him a quiet corner and a bit of patience, and soon enough he’ll be winding around your ankles, asking for treats or a game. He thrives on companionship and gets along well with other cats. Currently, Tiny shares his foster spot in Connecticut with his brother Ivory (who is a little shyer), and they’d love to find a home together—the duo discount is a bonus. Tiny needs a low-key, loving home with people who understand the value of slow introductions and offer plenty of attention. He shouldn’t be placed with young children, but would do well somewhere calm. If you’re looking for affection, play, and a satisfied, gentle sidekick, Tiny is ready for the chance he’s been waiting for. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
