About Tyler

Meet Tyler, a delightful Munchkin cat currently enjoying some well-deserved time away from the shelter in our Shelter Cat Getaway foster program. He’s 14 years old and just a sweet-natured fellow who thrives on head scratches and affection. Tyler will happily follow you around as your devoted shadow, always ready for a chat about his important cat life. Tyler loves a calm environment—it suits his gentle spirit. While he adores his humans, he also cherishes his alone time, often finding cozy spots for quiet cat naps. He has lived harmoniously with kids, dogs, and other cats, but prefers a quieter home. Notably, he may benefit from a low-sided litter box due to his short legs. Currently, he’s a healthy 17.77 lbs and has been neutered. If you're interested in adding this affectionate companion to your life, contact Mary to arrange a meeting. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
