About Tommy

Tommy is a delightful four-year-old orange and white tabby with captivating golden eyes, weighing in at 11.7 pounds. This sweet, shy boy is currently living in a doggy daycare and shows great comfort around dogs, making him a unique addition to a home with canine companions. Tommy has been positively tested for feline leukemia (FeLV), which means he can only cohabit with other cats that carry the virus or friendly dogs. Though he may come across as reserved at first, he blossoms into a snuggly and playful partner once he feels loved and secure. His talkative nature comes alive during his interactive moments, especially when playing games on an iPad with his favorite people. Tommy is also well-mannered and fully litter trained, making him a great choice for someone looking for a charming furry friend. He has received vaccinations for rabies and distemper and is microchipped. This dear boy has an ear tip indicating that he was trapped, neutered, and released, which adds to his unique character. Remember, adopting Tommy requires a leap of faith; he needs a little time to adjust in a new environment but will reward your patience with love. The adoption fee has been kindly covered by Friends of Petraits Rescue. Ready to meet this lovable guy? Apply today!
