About Winston

Winston is an 18-pound character who’s been making big strides in his healthy journey—down from a robust 22 pounds. He currently lounges in the Space Room at the Haysville Sanctuary, holding out for the right home to call his own. Unlike most sanctuary mainstays, he’s one of the select few who’d truly shine outside those walls. He’s got plenty of personality and bursts of energy when the mood strikes. Dangle a flirt pole or make time for interactive play, and Winston’s rocket engines fire up. Day to day, he appreciates a balance between activity, engagement, and a little portion control. Winston gets along with other cats after a slow introduction and could happily live with feline friends. He also does well with respectful kids who know how to give him space if he gets overstimulated. Dogs, on the other hand, aren’t his cup of tea—he’d rather have their lane all to himself and soak up undivided human attention. If you value a quirky, bold cat who’s equal parts sassy affection and independent energy, Winston is ready for his next adventure. Ask to see the big guy in the Space Room—you might just be his perfect landing spot. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
