About Wicket

Meet Wicket, a remarkable senior cat ready to find his forever home. Wicket once roamed the streets of Memphis alone, seeking help. He approached our rescue and, after receiving care, transformed from a fragile, anemic 7.4 pounds into a healthy and handsome 13-pound fellow. Wicket thrives in a low-key environment and needs patience as he adjusts to new surroundings. While he coexisted well in a multi-cat setting, he would prefer to be the solo cat in his new home, where he can bask in the attention he deserves. He has been great around calm, respectful older children. This playful boy has a soft spot for toys, loves to bake his signature biscuits when cozy, and treats really capture his heart. After such a challenging journey, Wicket is ready to embrace a loving home. If you think you could give him the safe space he craves, connect with us soon. Your new best friend is just one click away.
