Toby

My story

Meet Toby, Meet Toby, a 1-year-old brown tabby who is a bundle of love with a heart as big as his courage. Toby’s journey hasn’t been easy, but he’s faced every challenge with bravery, resilience, and an unshakeable belief in better days. His time on the streets may have been tough, but through it all, Toby has kept his head held high and his hopes high too. Now that he's found safety, Toby is eager to share all his love with you. He’s a people cat and can’t wait to be by your side – whether you're human, a kid, or even another cat. But Toby’s best friend? Dogs! He’s absolutely crazy about them and would love to find a home where he can have a furry canine companion to share his days with. We find him keeping himself entertained by playing with some of his favorite toys: hair ties & milk rings. Although Toby gets along with other cats, he would also enjoy being King Kitty of the Kastle. Toby is incredibly affectionate, always looking for opportunities to rub up against you and offer companionship. He’ll follow you from room to room, greet you at the door, and just be the most loving presence in your life. With his proud and confident demeanor, Toby is ready to share his resilience and endless affection with his forever family. If you’re looking for a loving, brave, and incredibly social kitty to join your family, Toby might just be the best friend you’ve been waiting for. Name Meaning: The name "Toby" means "God is good" and is derived from the Hebrew name "Tobias". Toby earned his name with receiving a 2nd chance at life with us to be healed and find his forever family. His Story: Toby was found in a colony of 20+ cats in Smithfield, PA in Fayette County. NPLB was called to help when he was severely injured. None of the cats at the colony were fixed. Toby was transported to us and we were able to get him into the vet to be clipped, cleaned and stitched up. It appeared at 1st that he was bitten by a dog. His jaw was ripped open from underneath tearing a bigger than thumb size hole open in his throat. You could literally see his veins and organs inside the hole. Even with this extreme injury, he showed not 1 sign of pain or anger. He showed nothing but love and affection, thankfulness and confidence. He has extremely friendly nature towards all dogs, we think if he was attacked by a dog, he would possibly fear them. Although we are not sure if he was attacked by an animal, or stick in a fence or trap, we knew he needed help. The rest of the kitties received TNR by a rescue who teamed up with us to tackle the colony while we cared for Toby to help manage the population.
