About Willow

Willow is a 10-month-old fluffy tuxedo girl who’s slowly coming into her own. When she first arrived, everything felt overwhelming—she kept to herself, cautious and hesitant. But with time and patience, Willow has started opening up, cautiously enjoying cheek rubs and the comfort of gentle hands. Her confidence grows every day, and she’s now seeking out affection more often. Willow relies a lot on her sibling, Panda—they’re a tight-knit duo who lean on each other, so keeping them together is important. Having Panda around really helps Willow feel braver and more secure, so adopters should be ready for a bonded pair. She’s fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV/FELV. With that medium, fluffy coat, Willow will need someone who can keep up regular brushing to keep her fur looking its best. With a quiet, loving home and plenty of patience, Willow’s sweet personality will keep shining through. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
