"Giraffes can spend 16 to 20 hours a day browsing on leaves, twigs, bark, flowers, and fruit from more than 60 different kinds of plants." -- website of the L.A. Zoo
Pet of the Week: Toby, 9591388
Image by LollypopFarm
Toby is a 4-year-old male cat who weighs nearly 16 pounds. He’s at Lollypop Farm for the second time, by no fault of his own. Originally, Toby came to Lollypop as a stray, and then he was adopted and returned because his owner’s landlord did not allow pets.
This special boy has both his front and back paws declawed. He loves to give kisses and have his chin rubbed, but he isn’t too fond of having his back end touched!
You can adopt Toby for just through Friday, August 13th as part of our “13 Days to Change Their Luck” Adopt-a-Thon. Help change Toby’s luck today!
