About Colby

Colby was found wandering the streets of Staten Island during the cold winter months. He caught the attention of a woman walking her dog, drawing near with his charming looks and sweet demeanor. Unable to leave him in the dark, she reached out to SICAW, and that became the start of Colby’s fortunate journey. Now safe and warm in his foster home, Colby is a lovable cat who thrives on companionship. He enjoys playing with his toys and often follows his foster family, always ready to curl up on the couch for some quality TV time, especially if it involves shopping channels. He purrs contently while dreaming of his future—a cozy cat bed might just be on his wishlist! Colby deserves a forever home where he can give and receive love wholeheartedly. Born on November 10, 2024, he is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, with a clean bill of health. You can meet Colby by appointment in his foster home or during adoption events at Petco Bricktown Way or PetSmart on Forest Ave. Let’s give Colby the loving home he’s been waiting for.
