About Tally

Tally always looks sharp in his natural tuxedo, whether he’s lounging for a cuddle or darting after his favorite teaser toy. He's genuinely friendly and prefers to keep you in sight, sometimes napping nearby just for company while you go about your day. Tally welcomes a good chin scratch, butt pat, and even a belly rub, and he doesn’t mind being scooped up for a carry around the house. When new people come over, his timid side comes out, and he’ll quietly retreat to a safe spot like under the couch or bed. Most of the time, though, Tally’s curiosity and playfulness shine—he’s athletic and always up for a game, and might surprise you with how quickly he picks up tricks if you put in some training time (and offer a little Churu). It’s unclear if he’d live well with another cat since he can act territorial, especially through the window. Tally grew up among other cats outdoors but seems pretty content having the place to himself now. He’s a good companion looking for a home where his personality can stand out. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
