My story

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

Meet Tuxy: The Sweet & Spirited Tuxedo Cat!

Say hello to Tuxy, the tall, handsome 1.5-year-old tuxedo cat with kind eyes that will melt your heart. His foster mom says he has the gentlest gaze and the sweetest slow blinks, as if he truly understands the power of kindness and connection.

Tuxy is incredible playful and loves a good game of catch—though retrieving the toy isn’t quite his forte. His persistence and clever antics will keep you laughing, and he’s always coming up with new strategies to win his favorite games.

When he’s not chasing toys, Tuxy transforms into a world-class cuddle buddy. He adores laps, head scratches, and heartfelt chats, purring contentedly as he soaks up your love. This affectionate boy thrives on attention and will be your constant shadow, always ready for another moment of connection.

His mischievous streak comes from his scrappy days as an “immigrant cat,” but with patience and gentle guidance, he listens, learns, and shows just how eager he is to be the best companion. While he’s a social butterfly with people, he’s a little shy when meeting other cats, though he’s always hopeful about making new friends.

Oh, and don’t forget—Tuxy is a total foodie! Mealtime is his favorite time, and he’ll let you know just how much he appreciates good food.

If you’re looking for a kind, playful, and loving companion, Tuxy is ready to bring his warmth and joy into your life.  ❤️

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please visit: https://fancycats.org/volunteer

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adopters fill out an application that screens for problems that may be detrimental to our cats and kittens. Once the adopter is approved we provide veterinary referrals which help with low cost spays or neuters for the kittens that are too young at the time of adoption. We are always available to help with behavioral issues that arise. We provide numerous information sheets in our adoption folders, plus the medical background of each cat. The only fees involved with our program are adoption fees that offset our veterinary bills.

More about this rescue

Fancy Cats Rescue Team was founded to provide the community a "safety net" for cats and kittens that are abused and abandoned, or added to the euthanasia list at the shelters that we are currently participating with. We are a 501 (c) (3) Nonprofit Organization and participate with the United Way/CFC #8929. The goal is to have no kill shelters in place. Education and responsible pet ownership are the foundation of our organization. Our program provides literature, counseling, referral services and educational resources to families and individuals needing guidance. Teaching people responsible pet guardianship by spay and neutering their pets, behavioral modification and health concerns. We also provide a mentoring environment for our youth volunteers where they can learn the rewards of community service while caring for animals that need their gentle, loving kindness. They also interact with the community providing self-confidence and the ability to interact with a variety of cultures and diverse backgrounds. Once an animal is received into our program, they remain with us until a safe, appropriate home is found. They are never euthanized based on their age or space limitations. They are given appropriate medical care, immunizations, spays or neuters and endless hours of tender, loving care. We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. We are funded by community donations, 91% goes toward the care and well being of our animals. Our adoption fees help offset our veterinary bills.
