About Tofu

Tofu is a striking white domestic short hair who came from a crowded home and ended up with Second Chance Cats of West Michigan after his family could no longer care for their pets. Now fully ready for the next chapter, Tofu has watched his feline housemates get adopted while he stayed in foster care, soaking up all the extra attention he could get. Life in foster has shown just how much Tofu craves human connection—he is one of the gentlest, most affectionate cats you’ll meet. He seeks out laps and chests for napping and never seems to have enough time being petted, nuzzled, or held. Sometimes, his foster mom comments that his super-flexible, ‘jello-like’ body makes him an expert at flopping lazily into laps and sticking close to anyone on the couch. Tofu flirts by giving face kisses and showing his playful side racing after spring toys or chasing wand teasers. Wet food and Churu treats are his preference, but he’s not demanding at mealtime. Tofu does have a unique look—his right eye has limited vision due to chronic issues from a herpes infection at birth, which also means he needs regular gel eye drops and eye cleaning (a minute or two, a couple times daily). He’s tolerant of this care and will seek affection right after. This maintenance doesn’t slow him down: Tofu plays, jumps, and cuddles like any healthy cat. He could do well with kids or as part of an active, friendly cat household (he enjoys play sessions more than snuggling with other cats). Tofu’s ideal adopter will be home often, since he thrives near people and is happiest when companionship is close at hand. Tofu is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, with an approximate birthday of April 2, 2023—making him an affectionate Aries. Visits to his foster home can be arranged with an approved application, and adoptions are limited to those within an hour of Grand Rapids. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
