About Tuxie

Tuxie is a small, fluffy tuxedo cat with a long, soft coat and a bouncy personality. She was born around February 1, 2025, which means she’s an Aquarius—the sign for quirky, independent spirits. Tuxie overcame FIP as a kitten and, while left with a cute left head tilt and some vision quirkiness in her left eye, the experience hasn’t slowed her down at all. She thrives on playtime, with a preference for red mice and her pop-up RV crinkle cube, and she gets along well with other friendly cats. Tuxie is a world-class cuddler with a purr that melts hearts, and she always uses her litter box with feline pine pellets. Tuxie hasn’t been around dogs. Because she can be startled and has some unique needs, she’ll do best in a home without small children. The perfect fit would be a home with another playful cat, plenty of people around for interaction, lots of toys to work through, and a window seat to keep her entertained. Tuxie is currently fostered in Maryville, TN. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
