Meet **Hershey**, a handsome tuxedo boy born on **October 29, 2025**, who has all the charm and personality tuxedo cats are famous for! With his striking black-and-white coat, expressive eyes, and sweet face, Hershey is as adorable as he is lovable. He had a rough start in life due to being born without an eardrum, but after the surgery he needed to repair the issue, he's now healthy, happy, and ready to find the forever family he's always deserved.

Hershey is everything you could want in a kitten—playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining. He absolutely adores wand toys, little balls, crinkle toys, and can happily chase a spring across the floor for hours all by himself. He loves every animal he meets, including the resident dog, and his foster family often finds the two curled up together in the dog's bed for a nap. He's wonderful with kids, although very loud noises can make him a little nervous. Most importantly, **Hershey must have another friendly cat in his forever home.** He thrives on feline companionship and would be very lonely as an only pet. If you're looking for a loving, playful kitten who will fill your home with purrs, laughter, and cuddles, Hershey is ready to steal your heart.
