So, who is this fabulous feline? Tosca is a nine-year-old rescue cat, adopted by shop owner Ramiz Yousef and his wife, Elena, back in 2016. They found her at a local shelter, where she’d already been named Tosca after a famous opera. The name fit her perfectly, so they kept it.

Tosca isn’t just a pretty face, though. She’s been working at the shop for over five years and is a beloved member of the community. Customers flock to the store, not just for the merchandise, but for a chance to meet the bow-tie bandit herself.
