Tux's Story
Tux may be missing a leg, but he makes up for it with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Once a scrappy, possibly feral stray, Tux started visiting our porch for meals and slowly became part of our lives.<br/><br/>In May 2025, he returned limping from an animal bite that led to a serious infection. We learned he was FIV+ and needed a leg amputation to survive. Tux pulled through surgery like a champ and is now thriving indoors. He's adjusted well to home life - affectionate, food-obsessed, vocal, and playful. He loves string toys and butt scratches but can get a little overstimulated when excited, so a cat-savvy, calm home would suit him best. Loud noises and quick movements still make him a bit nervous, but his trust grows more every day.<br/><br/>Tux is FIV+ (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), but he's in good health and can live a long, happy life with proper care. FIV+ cats do best with regular vet checkups, a balanced diet, and a safe, loving home. They make amazing, affectionate companions - don't overlook an FIV+ kitty like Tux!<br/><br/>Tux is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, routinely treated for fleas and worms, and tested negative for FeLV and heartworm. His estimated DOB is 5/17/2022.<br/><br/>All cats/kittens come with 30 days of free post-adoption support from Petcademy, including expert guidance and online resources to help your new furbaby settle in.<br/><br/>Apply to adopt: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/AAA/Cat
