About Rosie

Rosie is a pretty 1.5 year old Tuxedo girl that came from our friends with SCRATCH. SHe is definitely timid and will take some time adjusting to a new environment, but is very sweet once she trusts you. She loves her wet food and purrs happily and accepts back scratches while she eats. She does well around other cats but is not particularly bonded with anyone. We're open Wednesday - Sunday 12 - 5 p.m but are doing meet & greets and adoptions by appointment only. The adoption fee is $85 which includes a free veterinary exam within 2 weeks of adoption at local participating vets, up to date vaccinations, test for FELV/FIV, dewormer, flea preventative, microchip, & spay or neuter.

About Tuxedo Cats

Tuxedo cats are named for their distinctive black and white coat pattern that resembles a formal tuxedo, with a black "jacket" and white "shirt front." This dapper coloring can appear in virtually any breed or mix, making each tuxedo cat unique in both appearance and personality. They are among the most recognizable and beloved color patterns found in shelters everywhere.

Adopting a Tuxedo cat means welcoming a cat who always looks dressed for a special occasion. Tuxedo cat owners often describe their pets as particularly intelligent, social, and full of personality. Whether they are lounging regally or zooming through the house, their formal attire adds a touch of elegance and humor to everyday life. They make wonderful, charming companions for any household.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

30°F to 50°F

Dec – Feb

Valley temperatures stay relatively mild, but mountain trails can be icy. Keep pets leashed on steep sections and avoid frozen creek crossings. Light snow and freezing rain occur a few times each winter.

Spring

48°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Heavy spring rains can cause creek flooding along popular trail routes. Wildflowers along the Riverwalk make for beautiful outings. Start flea and tick preventatives early as the wooded terrain harbors both.

Summer

68°F to 90°F

Jun – Aug

The valley traps humidity, making summer feel hotter than the temperature suggests. Seek shaded trails on Lookout Mountain or walk along the river during cooler morning hours. Always carry water for your pet.
