About Tinker

Tinker came into rescue at about 10 weeks old in a semi-feral state and has been learning to trust her foster mom since then. She's still shy and not quite sure about being picked up, but she’s becoming more comfortable with gentle pets. Tinker thrives around other cats and gets along well with small dogs. She truly lights up when in the company of other kitties—having feline siblings is a must for her, and she wants a home where she isn’t the only cat. As a young female, she’s energetic and enjoys racing through the house and wrestling with her companions. Tinker will need a patient adopter who understands shy cats and is committed to helping her blossom in a home where she’ll always have animal friends. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
