Discover the joy of giving a tuxedo cat their forever home. Connect with distinguished black and white companions who wait longer for love but give so much more in return.
Experience the incredible joy of welcoming a distinguished companion who deserves equal love
When you welcome a tuxedo cat into your home, you're not just adopting a pet – you're breaking unfair adoption biases and gaining a distinguished companion. Tuxedo cats, with their formal black and white "attire," wait 24% longer in shelters than other colors, despite having equally wonderful personalities. This color pattern appears across many breeds, meaning each tuxedo cat brings their own unique traits and characteristics. By choosing a tuxedo cat, you're making a statement that love sees beyond color while gaining a sophisticated-looking friend who will enrich your life in countless ways.
Tuxedo cats sport nature's formal wear - elegant black coats with white chests, paws, and often facial markings that give them a perpetually dressed-up appearance that's simply irresistible.
Despite waiting longer for adoption due to color bias, tuxedo cats are equally loving, playful, and loyal. They're often the shelter's best-kept secrets - amazing cats overlooked for superficial reasons.
Since tuxedo is just a color pattern, not a breed, these cats come with wonderfully diverse personalities - from playful entertainers to calm lap cats, each one unique and special.
By adopting a tuxedo cat, you're actively combating adoption bias and giving a deserving cat the chance they've been waiting for - often longer than their shelter mates.

Get answers to common questions about adopting Tuxedo Cats responsibly
Tuxedo cats, being predominantly black with white markings, unfortunately face 'black cat bias' in shelters. Studies show black and black-and-white cats wait 24% longer for adoption than other colors, despite having equally wonderful personalities. This unfair bias means these distinguished, formal-looking cats often spend more time waiting for their forever homes, even though they make exceptional companions with unique personalities and charm.
Adoption fees typically range from $25-$200, representing incredible value for unconditional love. Young adults (1-3 years): $75-$200. Adults (3-7 years): $50-$150. Seniors (8+ years): $25-$100. Special companions often free-$75. Your adoption fee ensures your new family member comes fully prepared with complete health care, vaccinations, and everything needed for your beautiful journey together.
NO! Tuxedo is a COLOR PATTERN, not a breed. This distinctive black and white pattern can appear in many breeds including American Shorthair, British Shorthair, Maine Coon, and mixed breeds. The tuxedo pattern features a black coat with white chest, paws, and often facial markings that resemble formal wear. Each tuxedo cat's personality varies based on their actual breed or mix, making every one unique!
Tuxedo cats are distinguished companions perfect for any home! Remember that 'tuxedo' describes their formal black and white coloring, not their breed. Their care needs vary based on their actual breed - short-haired tuxedos need minimal grooming while long-haired ones need regular brushing. Help combat black cat bias by choosing these wonderful cats who often wait longer for homes despite being equally loving and deserving as any other color.
