We have an #adoptionupdate from Grace who adopted Toby in November 2024. She responds well to her name, so Grace didn’t want to change it. However, she did adjust the spelling and added a middle name: Tobi Lerone (like Toblerone—she’s Grace’s little chocolate bar!). Grace wasn’t planning to adopt when she visited the shelter but Tobi was so sweet and calm that Grace knew that Tobi would fit right into her life and she was right!
“She has a quirky and playful personality that is shining through now that she knows she has a loving furrever home. She likes to give you little love nibbles when she’s really happy and purring. She loves belly rubs too and it’s not a trap like with other cats!
“She’s been doing well! She does well with her eye drops and at both her intake and 1 month follow up appointments she has had slightly low eye pressures which the vet assured me is much preferable to high ones! We had a little trouble with eating and going to the bathroom right when she moved in but quickly moved past that and she has had a very good appetite since and has put on a little bit of weight! She loves curling up under the covers with me in the morning and I love waking up to her touching my face as she demands to be under the blankets as the little spoon!
“She has an octopus string toy she loves. She is a very social cat and always just wants to be in the same room as me and often wants to be sitting next to me, and she loves “helping” me build puzzles! I got her a fluffy bed for her to sleep in and she loves that too. We’ve started going on walks with a harness/leash/booties and she has enjoyed getting to sniff around the grass in my neighborhood.
“I’m so glad that little Tobi has fit into my life so well, she is my little shadow and loves to just “chat” with me. I know she was well loved in the shelter and I want to assure you that she is very well loved with me, and that it is one of the greatest pleasures of my life to take care of her.”
While at the shelter, Toby was part of our Lonely Hearts Club—a group of cats our staff believes need extra help finding their forever homes. These cats may be older, less eye-catching, have specific medical needs, or have simply been overlooked. Despite their challenges, we know they have so much love to give, and Tobi is the perfect example of that! Thank you, Grace, for recognizing how special Toby is!
