All Tink upgrades and rewards in Mewgenics
Mr. Tinkles, known as Tink in town, offers six unique upgrades in Mewgenicsalthough the last one never really ends, so to speak. He is married but has no children yet, so he plans to start a cat family and wants kittens from you. Thankfully, he doesn't ask for them for free.
Each time you submit a batch of pets that he requests, he will reward you with in-game items and unlock cat information (mainly about their personality and preferences), allowing you to plan and create the strongest units for battles. These are important for taking down bosses during adventures, so maxing out Tink's upgrades is a must.
