About Colbie

Meet Colbie, a gentle 1-year-old female Domestic Short Hair looking for a quiet, loving home. She’s initially shy, especially around strangers, and can get nervous in busy or loud environments. Therefore, she thrives best with adults who appreciate a calm routine and understand her need for time to build trust. When Colbie connects with her humans, she transforms into a sweet companion who enjoys following them around the house and receiving all the affection she craves. Colbie is motivated by food, particularly enjoying all sorts of canned delights. She's not fond of being held but loves to climb onto laps when she feels safe. While she currently cohabits with a toddler without displaying aggression, she prefers to retreat when things get bustling. Through positive experiences, she’s gradually becoming more comfortable around children. A patient adopter will help her blossom into a devoted friend over time. Colbie is spayed, vaccinated, and house trained. She's waiting at NAWS Humane Society located in Mokena, IL. Give her the chance to experience love and companionship. What are you waiting for?
