About Tina Shy &

Tina is a striking tuxedo Maine Coon mix with a gentle, reserved nature. At 12 years old, she's just growing back her luxurious long coat after a trim, which only adds to her charm as her fur fills in. Tina and her sister Hazel have spent their entire lives together, adopted as kittens by a family who included them in their adventures—even cross-country road trips. That bond is strong, and their previous owners have emphasized that they need to stay together. Suddenly losing their home due to a child's allergy hasn't been easy, but their resilience shows. Tina tends to be shyer than her sister and likes to ease into new settings. Once she feels comfortable, she's an affectionate companion who enjoys cuddles but never makes a fuss for attention. She gets along with other cats if given time, but definitely prefers a home without dogs. Gentle older children would likely be a fit, given her calm demeanor. Health-wise, Tina is in impressive shape for her age—spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and recently cleared by the vet with good teeth and no arthritis. She takes a daily liquid thyroid medication but is easygoing about it. The adoption fee is $125 for Tina, and she must be adopted together with Hazel. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
