Meet Toby: The Adorable Cat at Seattle Animal Shelter That Everyone Wants to Adopt

Everyone meet Toby. Toby was pancaking comfortably and didn't seem to mind being woken up from his nap. Immediately, he gets up close and personal. Toby spends 90% of the day pressed up against his kennel bars like a loaf of bread waiting to be sliced. This is very distracting for shelter staff, who must stop to pet him every time they walk by.

For fans of truly gravity-defying chess sleuth, look no further. Toby is as light and airy as a coconut cream cake resting in a cloud. With a smooth and wrinkle-free brain, he loves getting his brain scrambled by those who pet him. While his brain is focused on getting pets, his bladder is focused on making crystals, which is why he's on a prescription urinary diet. Luckily for Toby, since he's been on this diet in the shelter, he's been using the litter box great and seems nice and comfy. Somebody come scoop him up today!

Seattle Animal Shelter does amazing work, and many people have expressed a strong desire to adopt Toby. One user mentioned, "130%, would adopt Tobey if I didn't already have two more cats than my oldest cat would like. I'm afraid she'll tolerate no more." Another user, willing to take Toby in, said, "I'll take him. I already have a cat on the same diet, so that's no problem. Just get him to me in the Netherlands."

The comments section is filled with meaningful sentiments. "Very cute, very depurre," one user noted. Another added, "I'm not prepared for a cat at this exact moment, but damn do I wish I lived in Seattle so I could take Toby home." There are even users who are thinking of moving to Seattle just to adopt Toby: "Thinking about moving to Seattle. Sadly would never get there in time to get a Toby."

Some users shared practical advice, "If you want a cat consider getting two, it's not much more work and they keep each other occupied." Another local mentioned, "Looked up the shelter. I’m in Issaquah, will be looking out for him this weekend."

Toby has certainly captured the hearts of many. "What a good kitty! Looks very fluffy," one comment read. "How could you not 'scoop him up', what a joyous cutie he is. Hope he gets the best life," another user expressed. One user even said, "I've worked as a shelter tech, you get good at drive-by pets."

Toby's charm is undeniable: "Toby is so beautiful that I am weeping," and "OMG I used to own this cat's identical twin, or rather it owned me. G*****n it's identical," shared two emotional users. The love for Toby spans even continents with comments like, "I need this cat. Wish I could ship him to Sweden."

Despite some users' playful warnings like, "Don't eat him!" and "I don't like coconut, but I would die for Toby," the consensus is clear. Toby is a beloved feline who deserves a loving forever home. If you're near Seattle and looking for a cat, consider visiting the Seattle Animal Shelter to meet Toby.
