About Handsome Mature Toby ๐โโฌ
Meet Toby, your future handsome and affectionate companion! Toby is a chilled cat who enjoys his solitude as much as he loves being your sidekick, and with those captivating green eyes he will melt even the toughest heart.
Toby is a smoocher who loves scratches around his ears and full body rubs. He's not particularly demanding, but he does value quality time with his chosen one. Toby would be best suited to a couple or a single person who has the patience to smooch and really connect with him, but he can manage equally well if his special person works out of the home and can share the evenings with him.
Despite being a sociable feline, Toby can be a little dominant out of curiosity when introduced to other cats. He's friendly and loves to give the occasional nose kisses and little meows to other cats, but likes to be sure of himself in a new environment. He's still learning that swiping from time to time is not the preferred communication style but mostly this happens when he is over-stimulated or if you approach him from beside him or over his face, so a gentle approach works best, letting hin know you're there and would like to engage. Once you have that trust from him, he will reward you by leaning right into you and smooching his chin on you.
He has had a bit of exposure to dogs who leave him alone so would be fine with the right doggo sibling.
He does have some health issues which can be managed with a good diet and medication (see below for more details in Medical notesL but his condition doesn't affect his lovable nature and won't prevent him from living a normal and happy life.
In a nutshell, Toby is a loving and calm cat who is seeking a forever family who will respect his calm nature and provide the care he needs. With his soothing temperament and loving outlook on life, he's ready to make your house feel like a welcoming home!

Medical notes
Toby is FIV positive but this is not causing him any issues and is best managed with a quality diet and yearly vet visit. Please contact us with any questions about FIV.
The only thing he's currently dealing with medically is treatment of Prednisone for skin allergy (most likely from pollen/grass). To support his skin and ensure it isn't a food allergy we have him single protein food (kangaroo) or hypoallergenic food. He is currently eating kangaroo dry food and cooked kangaroo meat for his dinner however he has improved greatly and once in his forever home where he can fully destress we anticipate his skin will make a full recovery and he'll no longer need single protein food and can return to just a quality brand food.
Other than that Tob's is a stunning, healthy big boy who can't wait to find his forever!

ABOUT OUR ORGANISATION
Sunny Days runs Victoria's only specialised stray cat rehab facility
We run Victoria's only specialised stray cat rehab facility. On a rural property in Avalon, Vic, our rehab centre operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is in constant demand due to the sheer number of cats born wild and dogs no longer wanted.
Despite this demand, we have no source of ongoing funding. Unlike public pounds which enter into contracts with local councils to be the facility responsible for housing lost animals; reuniting them with owners; and sourcing new homes for those unwanted, volunteer-run pounds like ours do not have the option to partner with a government organisation and have the running of the shelter funded - we are left to fund our work through ours, and the community's donations.
You can help continue saving lives by clicking the pink DONATE button on this page, or further options at the bottom of this section. โก Thankyou! โก
๐ OUR WORK WITH CATS:
We take in full cat colonies, pregnant and nursing mothers, ophan kittens, FIV positive cats, and sick or injured cats. Cats are humanely trapped after being identified as un-owned; we don't take in domesticated cats and have extensive processes to ensure cats trapped are true strays as opposed to owned. We don't give cats deadlines to be socialised by or they'll be euthanised, we provide sanctuary for them for as long as they need.
๐ OUR WORK WITH DOGS:
We take in dogs from community surrenders, owned arranged euthanasia's which vets have intervened on, and greyhounds retired from or not suitable for racing. Most of our dogs are with us for an extended period of time to ensure we know them really well before putting them up for adoption, and have been assessed by professional dog trainers if not worked with extensively. We provide full discretion with adopters about dogs' health and behaviour and unlimited, 24 hour support to integrate adopted dogs into new homes, families and lifestyles.
๐ HOW YOU CAN HELP
We receive adoption fees, however our animals are adopted out less frequently than happens at other shelters and rescue organisations as our animals are with us for extended periods of rehabilitation. We rely on donations to keep our animals fed, parasite treated, vaccinated regularly and treated for illness or injury. You can donate by clicking the pink DONATE button on this page, or via the alternate options below. Thankyou for your suppawt โก
