About Tony

Meet Tony, also known as Tony of the Bay! Rescued from the streets of a bayside town, he’s made strides since his kitten days, thanks to a dedicated foster who has worked hard to help socialize him. This delightful boy is still a bit shy but loves being petted, especially while enjoying his meals or treats. You'll often find him perched on the couch, happily playing with wand toys. Tony has a friendly nature, getting along well with other cats and calm dogs. He has a unique tabby coat and thrives in a home with patient people who can encourage him to explore his environment. He enjoys listening to music and lounging in sunlit windowsills or on cozy cat trees. Bringing Tony into your home means helping him gain confidence and flourish! Since Tony is microchipped, if he happens to stray, he can easily be scanned for a reunion. It’s worth noting that we usually require adopting two cats or kittens together to ensure they have companionship. Let us know if you're interested in meeting Tony’s siblings or friends! Tony is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and comes with a clean bill of health. Ready to adopt? Connect with us today!
