About Toby

Start your journey together! Apply now. Toby is an almost one-year-old domestic short hair who was rescued from the streets of North Jersey along with her brothers. While her siblings were outgoing and immediately affectionate, Toby was initially very frightened and withdrawn. Through the dedication of a foster experienced in socializing shy and feral cats, Toby has made significant progress, slowly warming up to her foster mom over the past few months. Toby absolutely loves the company of other cats and is looking for a home where she can have a playful, cuddly feline companion. She will likely bond with another cat before she feels comfortable with her new humans, so patience and a gentle approach will be key to helping her thrive. Given enough time and understanding, Toby has the potential to become a wonderful family cat. She is spayed, vaccinated, has tested FeLV/FIV negative, and is microchipped—ready for her forever home. Slow and steady wins the race with this special girl! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
