My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

 



If you’ve been searching for the perfect cat, stop right here—Tony is the one. This six-year-old tabby isn’t just a pet; he’s a built-in best friend, a cuddle connoisseur, and an expert in turning any bad day into a good one. Tony has been a star at every foster home, shelter, and vet appointment. He is a celebrity in the PAWS Family! Tony is equal parts playful and affectionate. He thrives on attention, will greet you at the door like a loyal pup, is usually looking for belly rubs and loves being the star of the show. Whether he's zooming around in a silly burst of energy or curling up in your lap for a cozy nap, Tony will fill your home with love, laughter, and endless purrs.

And here’s the best part? Tony is looking for a home! He’s ready to bond, snuggle, and be your forever companion. Tony is the real deal and a low-maintenance cat that instantly makes the hardest of hearts want to give it all up to make him part of the family.  Tony would love to land in an active and attentive home and just needs a family that wants to play and snuggle. 

If you’ve been looking for a cat who will adore you, entertain you, and be your shadow every step of the way, Tony is your guy. Tony has mild asthma and allergies but has been weaned off meds and is currently just on a special diet to keep his adorable potato body in check. His new family will need to get him set up with their own full-service vet post-adoption to continue and transfer that care.
