About Waylon

Meet Waylon, one half of a dynamic duo, along with his brother Jed. This handsome buff tabby is filled with personality and affection! Estimated to be between 2–6 years old and weighing around 12 pounds, Waylon has spent his entire life alongside Jed and needs to find a forever home together with him. Affectionate is an understatement. Waylon and Jed are incredibly loving and always eager for pets and snuggles. They are not shy about expressing their need for attention, often disregarding personal space completely! While they are friendly, they were not socialized properly when they were younger, so they are still learning how to engage appropriately. Because of their past, they need a cat-savvy home. They’re best suited for older children aged 12 and above who can respect their boundaries. Waylon and Jed have a lot of love to give, and they simply need understanding humans to guide them. This pair truly is a package deal, delivering a whole lot of orange-boy love to any home they join. Ready to welcome them into your life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
