Topher's story starts behind a deli counter in New York, where he quietly made a life for himself until one day, that chapter closed. At just 3 years old, this handsome tuxedo gentleman found his way to the rescue, unsure of what came next. At first, he kept to himself, tucked safely in his litter box like it was a tiny fortress. But once he realized he was finally in a place filled with kindness, something shifted. The shy observer melted away, and in his place emerged a cat with a big heart, a bigger appetite, and an even bigger voice when it's dinner time. Likes: All the attention you're willing to give (and then some) Mealtime... and announcing mealtime... loudly Cozy spots where he can relax near his people Living with other cats—he's currently doing well with feline friends Dislikes / Needs: Being picked up (he prefers affection on his own four paws) Sudden changes—he'll need a little time and patience to settle in Has not been tested with dogs yet Would do best in a home with older, respectful kids Topher may take a moment to unpack his suitcase of feelings, but once he does, you'll find a devoted cuddle bug who will happily fill your home with love... and the occasional dramatic dinner announcement.
