Companion Corner: Weber at No Paws Left Behind

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."
