About Antonio

Antonio is a striking tuxedo gentleman who has adjusted gracefully from street life in the Bronx to lounging in a cozy Brooklyn apartment. Initially cautious, he quickly settled in and now adores the comforts of indoor living. Antonio thrives on companionship—he loves curling up beside his foster mom, purring, making biscuits, and will completely melt for cheek rubs. At night, he prefers to sleep right beside her head, making for a sweet bedtime routine. He's laidback, independent, and patiently waits while his foster mom is away at work. Curious by nature, Antonio likes to trail around the apartment to see what's going on, but never causes late-night chaos—no 3AM zoomies here. He’s the kind of cat who lets you sleep in and waits quietly for breakfast. His days are filled with cozy naps, tasty meals, bursts of play with his ball toy, and more naps. Antonio is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and FeLV+. This means he'll need to be your only cat unless you have other FeLV+ kitties. FeLV affects a cat’s immune system but doesn’t pass to people; with proper care, FeLV+ cats like Antonio can live happy, healthy lives. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
