About Tuxy

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Meet Tuxy! This sweet tuxedo boy's journey began on the streets, where he braved tough times fending for himself and recovering from an injury. Thanks to the care of a devoted foster, he is now healthy, fully vetted, neutered, and ready to become part of a loving family. Tuxy is about 2 years old and sports a charming short black and white coat that only adds to his dapper appearance. Tuxy is incredibly affectionate, friendly, and gets along well with other cats, making him a wonderful companion for a multi-cat household. He would do best in a calm home without large dogs or children under 5 years old, and he should not have access to a doggie door for his safety. Because he endured a lot outdoors, he’s absolutely ready for comfort and kindness. If you are in the Dallas Metroplex or surrounding areas and are looking for a loving cat, Tuxy is eager to meet you! A two-week home trial is available to ensure he’s the perfect fit. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
