Pet of the Week: Cadbury

This week's Pet of the Week is Cadbury, a cat who is as smooth as the chocolate that inspired his name.

Name: Cadbury

Age: 3-1/2 years

Weight: 13 pounds

Gender: Male, neutered 

Breed: Brown Tabby cat

The care providers at Rancho Coastal Humane Soceity describe Cadbury as a "gentle old soul…stuck in a young cat's body."

He's a bit shy at first, but as soon as you pet him, Cadbury starts purring. You could say he's "mellow," but "lazy" is more accurate. Because he's such a mellow cat, Cadbury will probably do best in a home with teenagers and adults. And he seems to like other cats including his RCHS roommate, Hoppity. But they can be adopted separately.

Cadbury's $125 adoption fee includes medical exam, up to date vaccinations, neuter, and microchip.
