This is Toby - He Needs a Home

Each weekend, Patch will present a cat and a dog available for adoption through the Animal Care League.

Cats get Saturday, dogs get Sunday.

This is Toby, a 5-year-old domestic short hair. This 5-year old handsome orange and white tabby will melt away any frost or snow in your heart. Toby is quite the charmer and has an all-around amazing personality. When you walk into his adoption suite, he is ready to say a big orange and white “Hello.” With Toby, it's love at first sight. This sweet boy was transferred to ACL from another shelter. Toby never gets bored sitting on any comfy lap and would make the ideal lap cat. Whether you’re sitting at a desk typing or just sitting in any chair, you can bet Toby will be right there. He also enjoys being brushed and he will need to be brushed frequently to keep him looking handsome.

Toby is recommended for an Adult Only Household, since Toby has special needs. Toby has “trick knees” and is not a candidate for corrective surgery. And while Toby would do well in a multi-cat household, they need to be a match – in personality and activity level. Potential adopters may request a consultation with our veterinarian prior to adoption.

You can meet Toby and all his friends at the ACL's office, 1011 Garfield St. For hours, call 708-848-8155.
