About Tony

Tony will approach you, gaze into your eyes, and then deliver an affectionate head butt to show just how much he cares. He loves to rub his face against yours, making it clear that this is simply part of sharing your life with him. With a self-assured, smug smile, he knows he's adorable and enjoys showing off his charm. When company comes over, Tony isn’t shy. He makes sure everyone gets to know him and appreciates his great head butts. Born a stray kitten at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Tony was taken in by a service member. Unfortunately, he had to leave him behind when moving on. He thrives on a schedule of two meals a day—free feeding just leads to overeating. He gets along well with his foster dog sibling, a 25-pound dachshund mix, and some cats. While he isn't a bully to everyone, he has a few feline friends he tends to assert himself with. This lovable guy was born in April 2023, is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
