Tawny was found outside our building when Judy got to work at 5:30 a.m along with 3 other companions.  She was in very good condition and we have to believe that her family has fallen on bad times to give up all 4 of these beautiful cats.  The owner did leave notes on all of their cages.  Tawny is good with dogs, cats and kids....She is a very friendly sweet cat.  Her other companions are Abu, Micco and Sissy.

The Tuxedo Cat is not a reference to breed but to color. According to www.cat-lovers-only.com, a black-over-white (one-third white) bicolor coat is your "typical" tuxedo. The black fur covers most of the back and the tail. They often have a white face with a black "mask" effect. Some of them will have black spots on their faces, or a "goatee" effect of black on the chin. In addition, they have a white underbelly (chest and abdomen), and lower legs and paws. Breed identity is defined by each registry, but some of the breeds accepted in black and white are the Manx, the Persian, the Norwegian Forest Cat, and the Maine Coon. Oriental cat breeds do not show in this color combination. Perhaps the most well-known tuxedo cat ever is Sylvester, of Warner Brothers Looney Tunes fame. Sylvester has been chasing Tweety Bird since 1945. Of course, he is always unsuccessful. This either makes him the most persistent cat in the world, or the worst hunter of the feline species, or both.
