Ok… ya ready? We have a little breaking news and a story for you all!! WOOO HOOOO!!!

**A Special Adoption: Tuff Tony Finds His Forever Home**!!!

For the past ten years, Tuff Tony’s foster mom has opened her heart and home to countless cats in need. Each one found a safe haven with her, receiving the love and care they needed until they were ready to find their forever homes. But while many cats passed through her doors, there was something special about Tuff Tony.

Tuff Tony, with his charming personality and gentle nature, quickly made himself at home. He formed an instant bond with the senior cat already living there, as if they had always been meant to be together. His ease around other cats was clear, showing that he would fit perfectly into any home, but his foster mom couldn’t help but feel that his perfect home was right where he already was.

As the days turned into weeks, it became clear that Tuff Tony wasn’t just another foster cat passing through. He had become a part of the family. His playful antics brought new energy to the home, and his snuggles warmed her heart in a way that felt different. She knew she couldn’t let him go!!

And so, for the very first time in her decade-long journey of fostering, she decided to adopt. Tuff Tony would no longer be just a foster cat; he would be a permanent member of the family, sharing his days with the senior cat who had welcomed him so warmly (well she’s still bosscat of course don’t be fooled lol).

But even as she made this joyous decision, she knew our work wasn’t done. There are always more cats in need of a loving foster home, and Tuff Tony has shown that he’s not only a perfect companion but also a wonderful role model for future foster cats who might come through their door.

Stay tuned everyone!! There’s sure to be another Tuff Tails furry friend joining their household. But for now, let’s celebrate Tuff Tony, the cat who turned a foster home into his forever home.

CONGRATS TO ALL WE ARE OVER THE MOON!! Welcome home Tuff Tony!! 🖤❤️

Five years ago today (I cannot believe it’s 5 years thanks covid) we had a great day of fundraising for the pets at 🖤🖤🖤 It was 105 degrees outside lol but freezing inside so all was well. Metal, gogo dancers, motorcyles, animal love. Great day hope to do it again 🖤 💚💚💚

Tuff Tony is still waiting… he is such a great cat. Sooooo respectful of the senior 20 year old bosscat of the house. She normally is verrrry choosy and doesn’t want anyone in her personal space. Well she allows him to eat next to her and he can sleep a foot away 😃 If he tries to play with her and she’s not in the mood (hey she’s 20!!), she’ll give him a swat, he understands and goes and entertains himself with the 30 toys sitting around lol. He never swats back and never tries to be the alpha dog. He loves foster mom too and helps her get ready for work every morning. Tony’s about 3-4 years old, neutered and soft. He was saved from the mean streets in rough shape. Now living the indoor life he’s a new man. Lemme know!!! 🖤❤️

People… today’s a day that’s seriously scary and dangerous for pets. For the love of Dog and Cat KEEP THEM INSIDE!!! Go for a walk early, keep doors and windows closed, keep TVs loudish, have a/c on and stay with them!! Make sure they have a safe space to hide if need be. July 5th lost pet reports are always off the charts. Lots don’t have good endings… and for WHAT? So ‘brave’ people can blow $hit up??? That’s not what this is about but they made it about noise. Anyway please be careful and be on it!!! Is it September yet? 🙄😫🤬 🖤❤️

A little rough to read? GOOD! This has to stop. Do not we repeat do NOT leave your animals in the car even for 5 seconds. Where is the common sense?? If you see this happening call the cops because they will remove the animal and you won’t get arrested for breaking and entering. I mean if the situation is dire do what you gotta do just sayin’… anyway please never do this and spread the word to everyone you know in case they think it’s ‘ok for a minute’. Thank you!! 🖤❤️

I’m a pretty boy now. When I first got here I was in a little rough condition. My fur looked horrible! I’m a little vain so it was kinda upsetting 😃 But!! With the medical care I had and of course the TLC from foster mom, I could win a beauty contest!! But yet no one asks about me 😞 I’m nice and respectful and I’d love to meet my purrfect match in the NY or Long Island area. email [email protected] for my scoopage!! xo 🖤❤️

You can see their kitten pics atthe bottom and of course their today pics at the top their mom sent in 🖤❤️ Tiny Tim weighs 9-1/2 lbs and he was the little batman runt of the fam! He went to his home with TT alum Tori Purrch who loved him from the start. Great family rescue and great forever homes. 🖤❤️

Thank you again to our kind peeps for his gifts xoxo 🖤❤️

Hi it’s me Tuff Tony. I waited by the phone today but it didn’t ring. Then I checked emails a few hundred times but… there were none 😢 Is it because a tiny piece of my ear is missing? I think it looks pretty punk rock! Because my arm was shaved? Hey I had some dentals done it’ll grow back! I love people and other cats are my jam. I’m gentle and playful and I follow foster mom around like a canine! I’m in Queens waiting by the phone if you need me… 🖤❤️ 🖤❤️

Poor . He’s going in today for his dental - he has a cracked tooth at the gumline 😩 He can’t eat this morning and is pouting 😭 Please hold good thoughts for this loving and amazing kitty 🖤❤️ PS thanks to everyone who attended the palooza - you helped us pay this bill as dentals are never inexpensive but always necessary! xo 🖤❤️

Here’s Tuff Tony at the vet today. No worries we just wanted to do a full workup being we have no idea of history. Blood panel will come back tomorrow but we did find out he needs dental because of a broken at the root tooth 😩 He seems ok at least and has been eating well.
