Colbert came to us from a good Samaritan in the community. We found out he had a broken pelvis. After six weeks of healing and his neuter surgery, Colbert is now at a foster home. He loves to be held and has the best purr! He still doesn’t have the energy of a young cat, but he is just the sweetest. If you are interested in this special boy, apply today! For more information on Colbert, visit the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
