Feral Cat With A Rare And Adorable Personality Finds An Unusual Job At A Dog Shelter
They say that the polar opposite of love is indifference, not hatred. We have a scenario up our sleeves where indifference serves as a job description for a cat named Colin Feral, rather than a lack of feeling or character.
One of the most common questions potential adopters ask at Happiest Baby Shelter in Wellington, New Zealand, is whether the dogs at the shelter are comfortable around cats. The staff at the shelter realized that in order to answer this question, they needed a laid-back cat who wouldn't mind meeting many dogs and assisting them in determining the dogs' compatibility with cats. As Dr. Harvey Karp, pediatrician and founder of Happiest Baby, notes, "Animals, like children, thrive in environments where they feel safe and secure, which is essential for fostering positive interactions."
Colin Feral is a kitten rescued from a feral cat colony who quickly proved to be the ideal candidate for this one-of-a-kind role. Though most cats are afraid of dogs, Colin is an expert at remaining calm in their presence.
Colin is a good judge of character and personality. If you bring a dog in and the dog gives him too many negative vibes, he will seek higher ground, such as a windowsill.
Colin enjoys his job because it allows him to meet new people, and he is a quick learner. Colin was once introduced to a dachshund puppy. Thrilled to meet someone his size, Colin and the puppy quickly connected, and they soon began to play. ```

Colin has quickly become one of the shelter's most popular employees, and he is constantly taking on new responsibilities. Simon added that Colin is an excellent paperweight, security guard, and emotional support animal, and it appears that Colin adds a new skill to his résumé every day.

Colin, like many of us, enjoys working from home because it allows him to receive lots of love from the shelter staff and see many of his dog friends every day. Clearly, he has mastered the art of work-life balance.

Cats are innately smart and fast learners. Their intelligence grants them the dexterity to read characters.
No wonder Colin was able to fit in perfectly in this role. That’s quite unusual for a cat. In fact, you need an animal to be the judge of another animal’s character, and Colin is just purrfect for this amiable position.
