Adopt Carberry, a Young Orange Tabby Cat

My name is Carberry and I am a laid-back, young adult with simple needs. I am 14 pounds and all brawn, so hopefully I can fit on your lap. If not, I would be happy to just hang out with you—the closer the better. And, if you will brush me, I will follow you anywhere. I absolutely adore being brushed. In fact, if you are not brushing me, I will come and nuzzle you as a reminder. I am just a guy who likes his simple pleasures and that is one of them for me.

I am cool with other cats and dogs, but I would prefer that other feline friends are as gentle and welcoming as I am. However, I would also be just fine as your one and only as long as you have time to spend with me. Maybe we could have a dinner date? You should know that I’ll always be the first at my bowl. I do love to eat. 

Despite my love of food, I remain a fit fellow because I like to roll around and play. And, if you fine me rolling over on my back, you can take that as an open invitation for a belly rub. Don’t worry. I am not like those sneaky cats who show belly, but grab you when you move in to pet that appealing fuzzy tummy.  No, I will let you scratch to your heart’s content….and mine.

So, if a mellow, orange tiger who is longing for a permanent relationship meets your needs, I’m your guy.  Come over and meet me and let’s fall in love.
