About Willow

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Willow is adjusting to life at the shelter after arriving from a feral colony, and she finds the new environment rather stressful. She gets along well with other cats, but would be overwhelmed by dogs or children, so a quieter living situation would suit her best. Willow could be happy as an indoor/outdoor cat or as a barn cat, where she can put her mousing skills to use while enjoying her independence and personal space. Fun fact: Willow was born on March 17, making her a Pisces—she's likely to have a sensitive and observant nature! Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
