About Collins

Your new best friend is just one click away. Collins is the kind of cat who enjoys his own company, but don't be fooled—he has a loving side that he shares on his own terms. He tends to be shy at first, needing a little time to warm up to new people, but once he feels comfortable, Collins is sure to take over your heart and your home! He absolutely adores a good belly rub and being petted, but prefers to approach when he's ready. When guests arrive, Collins shows off his Houdini skills by finding a perfect hiding spot, though he re-emerges triumphantly when the excitement dies down. At about two and a half years old, Collins is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, dewormed, and flea treated, making him ready for his forever home. He is currently in a caring foster home in Heath and meet-ups can be arranged for the right family. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
