About Tinker

Meet Tinker, the charming 5-year-and-7-month-old Domestic Shorthair mix who weighs in at 16.2 pounds. This neutered gentleman brings a friendly demeanor, a playful spirit, and an abundance of love, eagerly awaiting someone special to share his life with. Tinker may be a bit shy upon first meeting, but with some patience, you'll discover the wonderful companion he truly is. He has a passion for fuzzy mice and feather wands, perfect for his hunting and pouncing instincts. Tinker enjoys head bumps and chin scratches, finding joy in cozy lap cuddles and snuggling in human beds. His curious nature leads him to enjoy window watching, and he perks up for some occasional zoomies. Treats like Delectables and Churu are sure to win his heart! After a playful session, he loves to relax right beside his favorite person. Tinker needs a peaceful home where he can be the only pet, as he is not suited for households with other cats or dogs. He appears to be litter trained and handles grooming well, but he will need regular brushing and moderate playtime to keep him happy. An experienced adopter who understands slow introductions and gentle handling would be an ideal match. Can you be the one to give Tinker the loving home he deserves? What are you waiting for?
