About Colby

Colby was rescued shortly after birth alongside his brother Cheddar. They were bottle-fed and have grown into very affectionate kittens. Colby is quite the climber and jumper, always ready to chase after anything that moves. His playful personality shines through as he enjoys playing tag with both the dog and the other cats in his foster home. After a wild play session, Colby loves to snuggle with his foster mom, purring contentedly and sharing gentle kitty kisses before dozing off in her lap. It's important to note that Colby is very bonded with his brother Cheddar, and they must be adopted together. Currently, they live in a private foster home, and a no-obligation meeting can be arranged for approved applications.
