Meet Wilbur, a reserved but sweet cat who’s been making himself comfortable in his foster home in Palatine, IL. Because Wilbur is living with a Rescue volunteer, you’ll need to make arrangements by email before meeting him. Don’t expect a social butterfly—Wilbur is on the shy side and tends to take his time building trust with new people. But for the right adopter, the reward is seeing him gain confidence and showing affection in his own quiet ways. Shy cats like Wilbur typically thrive in calm, peaceful homes. He’s ruled the roost at his foster place, where he’s had experience with other cats, a dog, and teens. You may catch him hanging out with other cats or basking in a sunny window, but he prefers soft introductions and a patient hand. Are you the one who’ll coax out his first nose bump or entice him into a slow belly rub? That little breakthrough can be the most satisfying part of sharing your home with Wilbur. Email the Rescue to arrange a meeting and find out if Wilbur is the right fit for your quiet kingdom. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
