Tux's Story

Tux (about 8 months old as of 10/27/25) is a spayed female black tuxedo shorthaired kitten. Tuxi is a sweet little girl who can be a little shy when she's out in strange new places but at home she likes to seek attention. Like most young ladies her age she's playful and inquisitive. She gets along well with other kitties and would do best adopted along with another kitten or to a home with a playful kitty looking for a fun little sister. She's had limited dog experience but would probably learn to love a really cat experienced dog. She'd probably be overwhelmed by really little kids, but older kids who can be a little patient as she warms up to them could be great playmates for her.

Spay and Stay's Adoption Policy

If you think you might be interested in one of our cats please fill out our adoption application at https://www.spayandstay.org/cat-adoption/. We will then work with you to ensure a good match and can arrange a meeting with the kitty or kitties you are most interested in. We require a small donation as an adoption fee that varies depending on the age of the cat or kitten and offer a "bulk discount" for adopters willing to take on more than one kitty. Adult cats over 1 year- $80, Kittens 6 months - 1 year- $100; $175 for a pair. Kittens under 6 months- $125; $225 for 2, or $325 for 3 kittens. The adoption fee in each case includes the cat being spayed or neutered, up to date on FVRCP and rabies vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, and tested for FIV and FeLV. Because pet adoption is not our primary mission we have no central animal shelter and rely solely on a network of volunteer foster homes to house and socialize our adoptable cats. While we don't have one convenient location to come and meet all of our available cats at once our individual foster parents get to work very closely with each kitty and can speak to what they are like in a home environment. We always take our kitties back if things aren't working out after a little time so we're passionate about helping you find the right match.
