About Herbie

Herbie is a loving soul who has found comfort in his special bond with Starzee. At 6 and a half years old, he faced a tough road, left behind when his owners moved away. Though he was adopted briefly, he returned to foster care due to his shyness and fear. After several months of patience and care, Herbie has learned to trust again. Each morning, he joyfully calls out to his foster mom, eager for breakfast, and greets her with adorable head bumps. Herbie thrives in a quiet, cat-savvy home that understands his past. He and Starzee have created a sweet companionship, finding solace in each other's presence as they curl up together. While they may take 3 to 6 months to fully adjust, their love and warmth make the wait worthwhile. If you're ready to embrace a gentle spirit, Herbie is waiting for the right match to share his life with. Think you can provide the understanding and patience he deserves?
