Pet of the Week: Colby

Submitted by Judy Ambrose, Neponset Valley Humane Society

If you can provide a home for a great cat who wants to be your little buddy, then you will definitely want to meet Colby.

This adorable and very friendly orange-and-white tabby cat is sweet and mellow and totally enjoys being around people. He follows his foster family around like a little puppy dog, all in an effort to have the opportunity to sit beside a person. He is very affectionate and lovable. Colby gets along well with the cats in his foster home and would make a nice friend for a gentle, welcoming cat, or he would also be fine as the only pet.

Because of a broken bone that healed improperly, Colby cannot use his right front leg. This old injury must have been awful for Colby while he was a stray. Now that he is indoors and safe, he gets along fine, jumps as well as any cat and has no idea he is anything less than perfect.

Colby is about one to two years old.

Please call Neponset Valley Humane Society at 781-769-1990 or email nvhumanesociety@gmail.com to arrange a meeting with Colby.
