About Wally

Wally came in as a feral rescue from the Manassas area and is still getting used to life indoors. He has settled into a much safer environment but remains wary of close contact. Wally is up to date on all vaccinations and has tested positive for FIV, though he doesn’t need any ongoing medication and seems otherwise healthy. He’ll require a patient, focused adopter who’s ready to work one-on-one as he adjusts to being around people.
