About Colby

Meet Colby, a delightful blond kitty with chubby cheeks and bright, expressive brown eyes. He's a gentle, affectionate sweetheart with a playful side, especially when catnip is involved. Colby's a bit shy when it comes to meeting new people, so he'll thrive with a patient adopter who can give him the time he needs to settle in. Once comfortable, his loving nature shines through, and he becomes a wonderfully cuddly companion. Colby enjoys playtime with soft toys like catnip mice, and he prefers gentle, low-key activities. Sprinkling a bit of catnip nearby can bring out his silly, playful side. He also loves crunchy treats, particularly temptations. This sweet boy can be overwhelmed by more assertive cats and would do best as the only feline in a calm home. While he can tolerate older kids who understand cats, he would prefer to avoid dogs and small children. If you can provide the peaceful environment he craves, Colby will give you all the affection and love you desire. He is about 2 to 3 years old, up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped.
