Rescue Pet of The Week

January 7, 2025

Introducing the one and only Tones and I – or as her friends call her, Toni! This beautiful tabby with striking markings and captivating green eyes is ready to find her forever home. Despite facing challenges in her young life, including being a young mum, Toni is a resilient little fighter who’s determined to find the love and security she deserves.

Toni is a social and affectionate cat who loves food, attention, and playtime. She’s especially fond of feather wands and will happily engage in a playful chase. Whether it’s getting scratches at the base of her tail, full-body pats, leg rubs, or being picked up and coddled, Toni is always up for some love. Plus, she’s quite the chatterbox and enjoys carrying on a conversation with her humans!

Currently living in a foster home with other cats, Toni has a bit of “sassy little sister” energy and may prefer to be the solo queen of her domain. However, with a slow introduction, she might be open to sharing her space with a confident, friendly feline companion.

If you’re looking for a loving, chatty companion who’s ready to bring joy and affection into your home, Toni could be the perfect fit. Could you offer this determined little lady the forever home she craves?
