🧩🐾 Meet Tate, the Crossword Kitten! 🐾🧩
Tate is a beautiful gray-and-white kitten born on May 3, 2026, and he has already discovered his life’s calling: assisting with the New York Times Crossword Puzzle.
This super-sweet little guy takes his job very seriously. He studies the clues, supervises every pencil stroke, and sometimes sits right on the puzzle to make sure nobody enters an answer without his approval. His specialties include purr-sistent, meow-velous, and fur-gotten. We’re still waiting for those clues to appear in the Times. 😹✏️
Tate is also an expert in moral support, toe-bean encouragement, and distracting his crossword companions at just the right moment. And he isn’t the only one waiting for a happy ending. Several of Tate’s siblings are also looking for their forever homes!
Could Tate and one of his siblings be the missing answers in your family? Apply to adopt here:
