About Wilbur

Wilbur is the newest pint-sized powerhouse at APA! This tiny furball is bursting with energy and has quickly made friends with both humans and feline companions. As we discover more about Wilbur's personality, we'll keep this page updated. If your heart is already racing for a meet-and-greet, feel free to reach out! Though Wilbur has tested positive for Feline Leukemia, it's important to remember that FeLV is not cancer. It results in a weaker immune system and may lead to a shorter lifespan. Typically, FeLV-positive cats live happy lives, just like any other. Wilbur can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but he's perfectly fine around dogs and other animals! If you have any questions about Wilbur's care, don’t hesitate to ask. All APA! cats receive full vetting, spaying or neutering, vaccinations, and a microchip. Our Cat Behavior Team is here to provide lifetime support. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
