Hi there! My name is Tinku. Did you know that a Festive Tinku is a cultural dance in Bolivia? Cool, huh? Well, I like to think I'm a particularly festive Tinku. I'm definitely a super affectionate Tinku; I love cuddling with both humans and other kitties, and in the shelter I would wrap my paws around my buddy as I slept. My paws, by the way, have the really cool, long, fluffy tufts we Maine Coons are known for. Although I can be a little timid in new settings, I warm up quickly and am super sweet once I feel comfortable. I especially love having my chin scratched (who doesn't, right?). I'm just four years of age and a substantial 16 pounds. Like many of us big boys, I'm super mellow, low key, and would make a wonderful companion. As I said, I'm fine with other kitties—in fact, I would really thrive in a home with another friendly kitty. I am FIV+, but if you think that's a death sentence, nothing could be further from the truth. We FIV+ cats can live long and healthy lives. I have been neutered, microchipped, and am up to date on all my shots. Check out my video: http://youtu.be/9oZm6OA8xj8
