Tuxie (A Good Barn Kitty!) Tuxedo Orange City, FL

Tuxie is an interesting little guy! Not warming up to people but used to living inside - good with other cats and used to being around a dog. He is a playful kitty, loves catnip and laser lights and the comfort of a soft bed - but will not for the life of me, let me pet him. That's unless he is sleeping. I can pet him when he is sleeping, and even though it wakes him up, he will freeze until he can escape. At those times, I can scruff him, pick him up and hold him, and whatever is needed, he is not a hisser, biter or scratcher. However, life as a barn cat may just be the right fit for him. He will tend to the duties needed and guard his grounds with diligence, and most certainly will stand by and watch while you fill his food and water bowl.
He'd be a good indoors companion to another pet, or alone, but most people aren't looking for a companion that tries to avoid them. It is sad in this way, as he is able to be handled if needed, only being outdoors would make it a little more complicated.
Tuxie is completely vetted, he even has a chip! He is ready to make his home somewhere in this world where he can be all the kitty he can be and is equipped to entertain you (he can be funny at playtime). So if you're considering a sweet young male kitty that you don't have to give a a lot of attention to - he's your lucky man! There are ways to acclimate a cat that need to be followed, when they are set up as a barn cat or outdoors. If they acclimate in your home, and even better, have the freedom to come in and out, then the acclimation process is easier but lasts for a few weeks. This will be explained more at the time of adoption. In the meantime, we ask that you fill out an application, even though it may be different for barn cats - we are excited to meet you and Tuxie will be glad to have a place to call home!
