Toby is a cat who is a bit different from all of the others. When his mother Georgina Price first met him, she could tell that he was very special. She decided that she was going to take him and his best friend home with her. Toby might be just six years old but he looks like a wizened old man. His unique appearance is caused by a very rare condition.

He suffers from feline cutaneous asthenia. This condition causes the skin of cats to suffer from fragile skin that is easily damaged. When this disease is found in humans, it is known as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.”It means that his body doesn’t produce collagen properly,” Price told LoveMeow. When these cats experience injuries, their bodies do not heal as easily.

Christopher Lardner is Georgina’s fiance and he fell in love with the cat almost immediately as well. Quinton is his best friend and he was found cowering behind him. Georgina first saw the animals while visiting the RSPCA website. She knew that she had to take them home. At first, Toby was afraid to even let Georgina touch him. He was clearly very afraid of humans.

Quinton had some teeth that needed to be pulled and so did Toby. These two were always by each other’s side and did not want to be apart. They were absolutely inseparable. The shelter knew that they could not be apart for any reason. Once Georgina saw their little faces, it was apparent that she was going to be their new mother.
