Meet Tomato – A Sweet, Mild-Mannered Purring Machine Ready for His Furever Home!

Tomato is an affectionate and gentle cat who loves to purr. Once he gets a little attention, he’ll happily roll over and show off his belly for a scratch. He’s great with his feline housemates and enjoys socializing but also knows how to enjoy some peaceful time alone, especially in the cat tree by the window.

While Tomato isn’t thrilled about being chased by the resident dog, he’s not easily frightened either—he simply prefers to keep his distance. The two occasionally have friendly, nose-to-nose exchanges, which shows his easygoing nature.

Tomato is a fan of wet food and is a great drinker, always staying hydrated. Though he’s a bit hesitant about getting into the carrier, he doesn’t scratch or bite and travels calmly in the car. He’s also a champ at the vet, never fussing or getting upset. However, taking medicine isn’t his favorite activity, and he’ll retreat if offered.

Having come from a rough past, including a spot on a kill list in Manhattan, Tomato is still adjusting, though he’s made great progress. He’s a little skittish and prefers gentle, back pets over head pets when greeting new people. He scurries at the entrance of the larger human dad but will make his way back into the common area once he feels safe. His soft, faintly chatty meow is sure to melt your heart.

Tomato’s charming personality has earned him the affectionate nickname "Hot Potato" from his 3-year-old human housemate.
