Tuffy works at the Oak Brothers Antique Mall in Tacoma, Washington. He showed up at the owners' house as a very wet, cold kitten in the middle of winter, 1998. He was dried off, hugged, fed, and taken for a physical at the vet. Signs were placed around the neighborhood, but no one called about the little kitten. He was named "Tuffy" because of how tough he must have been to stay alive in the freezing cold temperatures outside that winter, and at only 3 months old! Now he goes to the shop every day and spends his time rubbing up next to the refrigerator, or sleeping in the loft.
