About Tinky

Tinky is the smallest in his litter, and easily the cuddliest of the bunch. He prefers hanging back and quietly observing while his siblings dart around, but sometimes he'll join the action before sneaking away for more snuggles. His big head seems to puzzle him, and he's a bit slower and less coordinated than the rest, which just adds to his quirky charm. Most days, Tinky masters the art of patiently making direct eye contact while the rest of the world spins around him. Born March 2, Tinky is a Pisces—which explains the gentle soul and snuggly spirit. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
