About:
Colby came into care as an unsocialised kitten who had zero trust in humans.
He has been a work in progress and he is now learning that humans mean him no harm, Colby still needs a human who can give him the time and space to trust in a new environment.
Colby is still a bit fearful of “the approach”, and will mostly run when you try to approach him from above but when he is snoozing or laying peacefully he loves a belly rub and chin scratch and will purr and roll around enjoying the attention.
Recently he has been known to approach his foster mum when she is reading quietly or watching TV for pats and will even start making biscuits on mums lap or the small blanket on the couch.
Although Colby happily lives in quite a noisy household, some loud or foreign noises still send him running to hide.
Colby LOVES other cats, and tries to make friends with all the cats in his foster home. I believe Colby needs a home where there is another confident social cat friendly cat that he can play with and chase around the house like he does with his foster brother Mocha.
