About Willie

Willie is a 4-month-old kitten who keeps a low profile until excitement sweeps him up. He hangs back as a gentle observer but never misses a chance to join in on fun, surprising everyone with sudden bursts of energy and speed. Wrestling matches with his siblings and exploring hidden nooks are his preferred pastimes, and he often claims strange spots to nap as his own. Willie's blend of cuddliness and independence makes him feel like a quirky little roommate who might just swipe your socks when you're not looking. Because he's so young, Willie needs to be adopted alongside his mom (Dolly), a sibling (Kenny, Jolene, or Hank), or into a home with another young, friendly cat. Willie gets along well with other cats and will thrive with a playful companion. He’s ready to bring a mix of calm and joy to any household willing to keep up with his kitten antics. As a fun fact, Willie was born on March 2, which makes him a Pisces—curious, imaginative, and gentle at heart. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
