About Walter

Walter could have easily been called Whiskers thanks to those standout, expressive markings—he’s a true tuxedo boy, sharp as they come. Around new faces, he’s a little reserved and prefers to size things up before leaning in for closeness. Walter needs a patient home willing to let him settle, and in return he’s keen for warmth and plenty of snuggles. He’s happiest with other cats around, gets along with kids, but dogs aren’t really his scene. Walter is an adult who’s almost always tidy with his litter box, making him easy to live with. Give him time, kindness, and affection, and Walter’s gentle, sweet side will shine. Fun fact: as a Taurus, Walter's astrology suggests he enjoys his comforts and is open to lasting bonds.
