Meet Winifred 💙 Winifred is a truly special boy with a story that makes his transformation all the more incredible. At around two years old, this handsome, likely Siamese mix came from a large-scale hoarding situation, but you would never guess it when you see how far he has come in foster care. These days, Winifred is all about the simple joys. He loves wand toys and will happily chase them around with enthusiasm, bats his favorite little balls across the room, and never says no to a squeeze treat. He is also a sweet and chatty companion. He enjoys being pet and will softly "talk" to his foster mom to ask for attention or share his thoughts on the day. Winifred is looking for a home that understands that the best relationships take time to build. While he has made amazing progress, he can be a sensitive soul and will thrive with an adopter who is patient, observant, and willing to let him settle in at his own pace. Once he feels safe, his affectionate and playful personality really shines. Winifred is currently housed with his sister, Tiptoe, who is still building her confidence. While Tiptoe is not quite ready for adoption on her own yet, she does take comfort in Winifred and follows his lead. For a patient and understanding home, we would consider placing them together, as Winifred helps her feel safe and continue to grow. Due to his sensitive nature, he will do best with a slow, thoughtful introduction to another cat. We are unsure how he feels about dogs at this time. Because he appreciates a quieter environment, we think he would do best in a home with kids 7+ who can respect his space as he adjusts. Winifred is not just looking for any home. He is looking for the right one. Someone who sees how special he is and is excited to give him the time and understanding he needs to fully blossom. In return, you will get to watch a truly beautiful bond grow with a one of a kind cat. If you believe in giving cats the space to become their best selves, Winifred might just be your perfect match 💛 ___________________________ Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives! Apply here: https://tenlivescatrescue.org/adoptionapp/ Please Note: If the cat or kitten is no longer listed in the drop-down menu of the application then they are no longer available for adoption and we are not accepting applications. Due to limited volunteer power, applications submitted for cats or kittens no longer available will not be reviewed. About Ten Lives: Ten Lives Cat Rescue is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization located in Rhode Island. Our foster-based program is 100% volunteer-powered. We do not have a facility or shelter with regular visiting hours. Out of respect for the time, privacy, and safety of our foster families, we require an approved adoption application before scheduling a meet and greet with a foster cat. Our goal is to place cats in their best-matched homes and facilitate lifelong adoptions. We do not review applications on a first-come, first-serve basis. We believe that veterinary care is an important part of cat guardianship. As such, a veterinary check is part of our adoption process. Our goal is to contact applicants within 96 business hours of receiving their application. During kitten season, wait times may be longer due to the influx of applications. We are all volunteers and kindly ask for your patience! All Ten Lives cats are spayed or neutered, receive age-appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLv and parasites, dewormed, treated for fleas, and microchipped. These services are inclusive of the adoption fee.
