NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — There's a young cat waiting for a family to play with him.

 

iBerkshire's Companion Corner is a weekly series spotlighting an animal in our local shelters that is ready to find a home.

 

Weber is a 10-month-old domestic shorthair. He has been at No Paws Left Behind since November.

 

Volunteer Claire Morin introduced us to him.

 

"He came in with an abundance of cats that were in a crowded situation in the home," she said. "Most of his brothers and sisters are gone, but Weber is still here."

 

Weber loves the attention and if you aren't giving him enough he will let you know.

 

"Weber is very, very sweet. As you can see, he's very needy for attention. He loves his treats, and he can get a little overstimulated. He's very attention seeking. And if you don't give him attention right away, he nips at you a little bit, not a bite, more like a tender here I am — pay attention to me," Morin said. "But he's very engaging, and he's a very, very sweet boy."

 

Weber is a very playful cat and will make you laugh with his silly nature.

 

"He loves the spring toys. They're here on the floor. He will chase them. He rolls all over the floor. He loves these treats. And he loves to sit in front of his cage and watch everything that's going on," she said. "So we created a special space for him in his cage so he can be right up against the cage. And he's very, very vocal."

 

Weber is able to be in a home with other animals but it is suggested the kids are older since he will let you know he wants attention.

 

"He can go home with other cats and dogs and children over 10 because of his 'nippiness,' I guess you would call it, but he's never harmful," she said.

 

If you think Weber is your next companion, you can contact the shelter or learn more on the shelter's website.
