When Georgina Price met Toby, she know it was love at first sight. Not only did she take him home, but his best friend, too.
Toby the cat is six years old and looks wise beyond his age. He has feline ᴄᴜᴛᴀɴᴇᴏᴜs ᴀsᴛʜᴇɴɪᴀ, a condition in which the cat’s skin is very fragile, loose, and easily ʙʀᴜɪsᴇᴅ.
“It means that his body doesn’t produce collagen properly. It doesn’t heal as well as it should and scars very easily,”
But happily, superficial traits did not ᴘʀᴇᴠᴇɴᴛ Price from falling in love with the poor cat. When Georgina and her fiancé Christopher Lardner met Toby, he was cowering in the corner at the sheller, hiding behind his best friend, Quinton. The two were always together through thick and thin.
Price realized that they both were scared of humans.
“I saw them on the RSPCA website and fell in love instantly. When we met them, they were both ᴛᴇʀʀɪfɪᴇᴅ and huddled right at the back. Toby just hid behind Quinton the whole time, ᴛʀᴇᴍʙling. I didn’t even get to ᴛᴏᴜᴄʜ him because he was just so scared.” Georgina said.
Together with her fiance, she filled out the necessary paperwork and officially adopted them.
“We’ll always take care of them and give them all of the love and security that they need.”
Georgina said at the time, ‘They were just so scared and were living under the bed for weeks but food and love eventually got them out and now they own the place. They just do whatever they want and act mad when you turn the light on if they’re asleep on the bed or something.’
As time went on, the two cats began moving around in the open, exploring the house together. As they slowly realized that they were at safety, they started to relax and open up to their owners. And then, one day, he began to seek affection from his parents. He even discovered cuddles!
“We’ll always take care of them and give them all of the love and security that they need.”
