Meet Tux — a certified shy boy with a heart of gold.

Tux is the thoughtful type who likes to take it all in before jumping in. He’s often found a few steps behind his brother Taz, happily following his lead and joining the fun once he knows the coast is clear.

He loves playing with other kittens, batting around toy balls, curling up in cozy kitten beds, climbing cat trees like a quiet little explorer, and spending quality time birdwatching like the tiny gentleman he is.

Tux may take a bit longer to warm up, but once you win him over—especially through play—you’ll have earned the approval of a very special boy.

If you’re patient, kind, and appreciate the sweet reward of gaining a shy kitten’s trust, Tux is waiting to meet you.
