Toby is an 8-year-old, 14-pound domestic short hair that needs a quiet home. Toby’s previous owner relinquished her because she was fearful and never came out from under the bed. While she was a bit shy when she first arrived at NAWS, she has not acted overly fearful. Instead, she shows she wants to be loved by approaching people for attention and gentle pets. She especially loves neck and head scratches. Toby is curious, gentle, loves snuggle in her soft bed and could make a lovely couch companion. To meet Toby, email Catadoptions@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.
