Penguin Domestic Short Hair Warwick, RI

Meet Penguin – The Tuxedo Teddy Bear with a Lot to Say!

Penguin has seen some things, my furiends. This 2-year-old was part of a small clowder of cats struggling to survive on the streets of Woonsocket. While most of his feline friends managed to keep out of trouble, poor Penguin seemed to be more of a lover than a fighter—and he had the battle scars to prove it.

When we rescued him, this nearly 14-pound gentle giant was covered in wounds from what seemed to be a serious scuffle. But despite his rough past, Penguin never lost his sweet nature. Now safe in a loving foster home, he has thrived—quickly warming up to his foster family and soaking up all the love and attention he missed out on for so long.

Penguin is curious, nosy, and always in the know! He loves to investigate his surroundings and demands attention with his meows—he’s got a lot to say and expects you to listen! He adores head scratches, cozy naps, and—his absolute favorite—catnip! Give him a sprinkle, and this big boy will show off his goofy, playful side. He’s also a snuggle pro and enjoys curling up with his humans when he’s in the mood for affection.

Penguin does well with respectful cats and dogs and has impeccable litter box manners. With his dapper tuxedo and heart of gold, he’s ready to leave his past behind and start fresh with a family who will cherish him forever.

Could you be the one to give this survivor the happy ending he deserves?
