About Willow

Star, also known as Willow, has a charming backstory that begins in an unexpected place. She was found tucked away in a recycling bin, and a kind couple rescued her, offering her warmth and care while they sought her original owner. Unfortunately, that reunion never happened, but it led her to the loving embrace of Fitchburg Friends of Felines. This sweet girl is calm, affectionate, and has a bit of an independent streak. While she may not be a fan of energetic play, she has a love for food and cozy blankets. What sets Star apart is her unique 'swagger,' a characteristic of her neurological condition called cerebellar hypoplasia. This condition causes her to walk a little differently, but she embraces it, strutting like she’s on a runway, showcasing her stunning tortoiseshell coat. Star dreams of a cozy home filled with love, soft blankets, and perhaps a young feline friend to share her space with. Although she hasn't met dogs or children yet, her temperament suggests she'd likely fit in well with them. She’s ready for a human, a couple, or even a whole family to shower her with affection. Star’s journey has led her here, and now she’s eager to find her forever home with you! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
